[Jmol-users] setting Jmol as default app on mac has improved

[Robert B. Grossman]

After using Jar Bundler to bundle the new Jmol 10 version 7 and then 
modifying the plist, I am now able to set all .mol files on my drive 
to launch Jmol upon double-clicking according to the procedures 
outlined earlier by Tim and me (Get info, etc.).  I'm no longer 
getting that Launch Services error I got previously upon Change All 
....  The system still claims not to know whether Jmol handles .mol 
files, but the warnings can be ignored.

However, although Jmol now launches upon double-clicking .mol files, 
Jmol still doesn't load those files, somewhat defeating the purpose 
of double-clicking.  Dragging the file icon onto the Jmol icon is 
also ineffective.  I always have to go to the Open ... window.  Not 
being a programmer, I have no idea whether this is an Apple flaw or a 
Jmol flaw.

Here is the code that I added to the plist with 
/Developer/Applications/Utilities/Property List Editor.
