Hello
I'm on a non-english macos install (german). There, Apple was so clever to
translate the values for the kMDItemKind attribute as well… 🤯
~ mdls -name kMDItemKind /Applications/iBooks.app
kMDItemKind = "Programm"
And that's why it doesn't work for me.
I submitted a PR which fixes this by using kMDItemContentType instead
(which was found by David Adam on gitter.im @
https://gitter.im/fish-shell/fish-shell?at=5afede24d332ee5fad2bd672).
PR: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4997
<https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/4997>
It also fixes the error, that "open -a" supports being given a path name of
an app and fish should support this as well with <tab> completion.
Best regards,
Alexander
