Hi Bob,
Wild idea that I haven't really thought through .. rushing beakfast here ..
but your mention of different results from opening files in different
orders with different apps makes me think of Mac OS X file metadata.
Readable and modifiable via xattr. Eg. this is where Mac puts a tag that a
file has been downloaded and not yet opened, and prompts the "This file was
downloaded by <browser>, are you sure you want to open it" prompt.
Best and HNY,
GE.
