1. You need to run make_services after installing new apps, for them to be picked up (maybe you need to restart GWorkspace too ... I'm not sure).

No dice :(

That's really strange ... have you tried running the wrapper shellscripts from the shell command line to check that they work on your system?

eg.

Acrobat.app/acroread -GSFilePath myfile.pdf

Try also "openapp Acrobat", to exclude problems with your GWorkspace.

Good suggestion ... but openapp is just a shellscript hack to roughly approximate proper application launching, and doesn't completely manage it. Specifically, it won't work for the Acrobat wrapper since that wrapper uses Info-gnustep.plist to specify the location of the application executable, and it's not the default location where openapp would find it. Maybe someday a better shellscript will be written, but currently it won't work for all apps.

However, the 'gopen' tool does use the standard mechanism to open files, so you can do ...

'gopen -a Acrobat myfile.pdf' to tell it to use the Acrobat application to open 'myfile.pdf'
