OS X document icon missing

[Paul Dupuis]

Yes, that look right. The file extension is .rbox and the file type is 
'rbox' for 'Recipe Box Files'

I wonder since it only READS .rbox files and does not create them, if 
you need to context-click (CTRL-CLICK) on a .rbox file and select "Open 
With.." to see if your app (an reader of .rbox files) is in the list and 
open one to get macOS to associate viewing .rbox files with your App, 
since it does not actually create .rbox files?
