Hi,
in an app of mine I needed the UTI Identifier of files created by Pages app.
Then googling around I found that using Terminal it’s easy to get the UTI Identifier of any file:
mdls -name kMDItemContentTypeTree filename
where the UTI Identifier is the first item returned.
Usually, I search for Uniform Type Identifier in the apple developer web site.
Also you can look at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Type_Identifier
(few info).
Path, not filename and place it between quotes if there is a space in it.
Result for a xojo (binary) project file:
kMDItemContentTypeTree = (
"com.xojo.project.binary",
"com.xojo.project",
"public.data",
"public.item"
)
Thank you Carlo.

Thank you for pointing out my mistake.
BTW, usually I do not type the path; I just drop the file into Terminal and press Return.
I leaned my quota of new things today, thank you Carlo.
Nota: you already fullfilled yesterdays too.
