Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about Opening Files With Associated App in Cocoa, here is a quick summary:

Recently I spent a while trying to figure out how to open files in my Cocoa app. Not just open them, but have the correct application launch with that file as an argument. I knew that Carbon achieved this with LaunchServices, but was unsure about the Cocoa equivalent to LaunchServices. But, it turns out to be quite easy to use. (Hint: its <strong>NSWorkspace</strong>.)

THANK YOU! You're correct, it isn't trivial to find this out. I have code to do this the old old way with FSSpecs, creating an alias from the spec and launching the alias, but I knew there had to be a cocoa way to do it! Thanks for posting this where I could find it via google!
