The "each time you use it" part is interesting. AIUI, an app contains, in its Info.plist, a list of file types it can open (along with their associated icon files, etc.), and LaunchServices does the rest. Must SubEthaEdit be doing something programmatically to steal the file associations, or could it be LaunchServices' doing? For that matter, what is the expected behaviour when a new app is installed that handles some of the same file types as an already installed app? Should the user have to Get Info on an instance of each file type in order to set the preferred handler? It seems like there should be a better UI for that sort of thing. (Didn't there used to be one for Internet Config at least, in System Preferences?) - Josh _______________________________________________ Camino mailing list [email protected] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/camino
