Hello there:

I've built an application under 3.0 and have created a custom document icon for  
the documents which my application creates.  However, even though I've already  
installed the application in ~/Apps, the Workspace still doesn't associate my  
icon with my documents unless the application is docked.  Likewise, the WS  
doesn't allow me to set my application as the default application for my custom  
document unless the application is also docked.

Under 1.0 and 2.0, the Workspace searched all path that's specified the the  
ApplicationsPaths default (owned by Workspace).  Even if this is not set, I  
would have thought that the WS would at least search ~/Apps.  Is there  
something different under 3.0 that I'm overlooking?

Thanks for the help and I'll summarize if there's any interest.

Best regards,
