cocoa file association question

I've associated a file type with my application via application properties and by implementind the necessary NSApplication delegate methods. Everything seems to work, but ... this confuses the system. How do i make sure that the files are only associated to the copy of the app that is in Applications folder and not the developement version? Because now my PathFinder shows two identical applications in its open with combobox and i don't want that.

You can't. If you have two versions of the same app, the system thinks that both can open the file because, well, they both can. Once an application registers for a particular file type, they system will always report that the app can open that file type. It looks at what the app can do, not where it resides.
