Hi list,
I continue to have the following problem and can't figure out what is
causing it:
When I change the default application to view PDF files to Skim (File
Info -> Open with ... / Change all), Skim becomes the default viewer
for PDFs for the current session. After logging out and back in, the
default Application has been reset to Preview.app. Each time I login,
I have to redo these steps. And that pretty much annoys me.
I am administering my system by myself, no-one else is messing with
it, so there must be something wrong in the system. I don't think the
bug is on Skim's side, but I was hoping that someone else might have
experienced something similar and might have some advice. Here is a
summary of what I have tried (of course I have checked all sorts of
mailing lists and google and the like, but without success):
Performing a "defaults read com.apple.LaunchServices" gives me
{
LSHandlers = (
{
LSHandlerContentType = "com.adobe.pdf";
LSHandlerRoleAll = "net.sourceforge.skim-app.skim";
}
);
}
pretty much the same before and after changing the default setting for
PDFs as above. That looks alright to me. But apparently it can't be
the correct place where MacOS stores the information of what
Application to use for what file type. Does anybody happen know where
that information would be hidden?
Deleting /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-*.csstore helped
once for one single relogin, but that can't be a long-term solution
either, if I have to do that again and again every time I log in.
I suspect that this strange effect might have to do with my encrypted
home directory, since that is probably something not many people would
use. If anybody does use it as well and has no problems with setting
Skim as the default PDF viewer, please let me know. Otherwise I can't
see what I am doing so different from other Skim users.
Any thought's what else I could try?! Anything is appreciated!
Cheers
Bjoern
