I've installed the MacTeX suite, strictly for the command-line tools.
Unfortunately, MacTeX comes with a bunch of graphical applications.
A couple of these have claimed the .tex extension as a PACKAGE
document: A directory named with that extension will be treated in the
Finder as a single document. I have strong opinions about hijacking a
file type that is well-known to be handled as flat for the use of some
sort of worksheet, and could go on at much more length.
The upshot is that my LaTeX.tex clippings directory has been turned
into a Finder document, and BBEdit won't recognize it any more. My
reading of the dump from lsregister is that TeXShop and Excalibur are
the culprits. I've edited the Info.plists, and done what I can to hit
lsregister for those applications, but the "package" flag for .tex in
Excalibur isn't going away.
1) Has anybody found a way to kill that package flag?
2) Is there a workaround in BBEdit to make my TeX clippings work
again? Bear in mind that I'm jumping rapidly through about 50 .tex
files.
This is close to a show-stopper for me, so I'd be grateful for any
ideas at all. I'm also writing to the macos-tex mailing list.
