Create an app that handles documents

[Mag]

Hi all!

I would like to create an OS X app that can handle documents. Each document can be opened in a different window.

My idea is to create a stack that is build as standalone and is keep invisible, this stack should work as a template. Every time the user creates a document I would create a clone of that stack and save it as stack file. So I have a certain number of questions and dubts...

First problem, how to accomplish that when the user double clicks the stack file on disk, the .app is opened?

I think the first thing you have to do is to set the Document Type and the Document extension
in the standalone builder.

I have not uploaded a screenshot of the standalone builder for Mac standalones because when I tried I got
this message:

Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.

So, you'll have to go and have a look your self.

The make sure that your documents you want to open have the necessary suffix/extension.
