Xee (1000)

Since nobody else is reporting it, I'll instead rant about a new bug: If you install Xee, and do an "open Folder/", you won't get a Finder window, you'll get a Xee window.

Why, you ask? Because I declared that Xee can open folders by using the UTI public.folder. The finder declares a folder file type too, *but doesn't use the public.folder UTI, but instead an incorrect OSType of fold!*

This after Apple making a big point about how great UTIs are for identifying files. The Finder doesn't use UTIs at all! So if I claim to be able to open it, this breaks the open command!

Which all means that the next version of Xee won't let you drop folders on its icon, because I have to claim public.folder to do that. Which I can't.

Opening folders with the open command, or from the open dialog, will still work, though.
