File Associations & Auto-Open with OS X

Tue, 10 May 2005 15:04:13 -0700

I've got a standalone developed with Rev 2.5.1 that I want to associate with a particular file extension for both OS X and Windows. On both platforms I can specify that all files with the extension ".xyz" is to be opened by a particular program. This works fine with Windows, but not with OS X (v10.3.9 by the way, in case it's relevant).

In my preOpenStack handler I'm looking at the $0, $1 parameters and find that $1 is set to the name of the file I double-clicked on (.xyz) for Windows but is empty for OS X. So with OS X when the user double-clicks a .xyz data file, it opens my standalone OK but not the file itself.

Is there a known solution for this for OS X so my users can simply double-click a file to cause it to open my standalone AND THEN the file they clicked on?

Thanks

Peter
