My first question is "How to I associate .rev to revolution?"
In the Finder, try this: Get Info (Command-I), Open With | select App | Change All...
As there is only a fixed number of three letter file extensions. How does a
developer, considering cross platform data files for their owns stacks,
provide or register/'own' a unique or non conflicting filetype.
Mac OS X uses BOTH filename extensions and application creator codes. You can search a database here http://tcdb2000.tripod.com/ and for no charge you can reserve your own unique creator code at apple.com
Some OS X apps care only about filename extensions (especially Unix-y and Cocoa apps are like this), some care only about creator codes (legacy Mac apps), and some care about both (a few smart apps)!! It's a mess.
How to best approach this problem in Runrev I do not know. There are some articles in the RR cookbook, and the RevNet plugin, which talk about how to do file associations in RR on OS X.
