please read my last posting, you even quoted it here.
But I will consider this, if it will fail again or better if it will fail
"reliably". :-D

What about using AppleScript to force it to open with a given app?

must have been a temporary "glitch" since it did not happen today.
And a HTML file was opened with "TextEdit.app" as expected and did
not start "Safari".
But will keep an eye on this! 8-)

launch tFile with tApp
Hi friends,
macOS 10.3, LC 9.6.7
I have e.g. a MP3 file and want to open it with "Quicktime Player.app":
...
## tPrompt contains a localized string, of course
answer file tPrompt with specialfolderpath("apps") with type "|app|"
put it into tApp
## I select QTPLayer.app
if the result = "cancel" then
exit to top
end if
## tDatei holds the complete path to the MP3
## tApp the path to QTPlayer.app
launch tDatei with tApp
put the result
...
It will open the MP3 with QTPlayer as desired BUT
it also opens the file with "iTunes/Music" additionally!?
And I don't want that! :-D
The result is EMPTY.
Bug or feature?
And can I avoid to also open the file with "Music"?
Thanks in advance!
Best
Klaus
