I tried this on a single file, and it did seem to work. I'm hoping Apple
will come to it's senses soon and fix this eratic and un-standard behavior.
It's much easier than that and I think Apple did get it right. As Brian
pointed out, Rev sets the filetype by default to text files. The Finder
accomodates both methods of checking which app to launch. However, if a
file has both a creator/type as well as an extension, it uses the
creator/type codes first.
Because Rev sets the file type to TEXT by default, the OS never gets
around to looking at the extension. You can force the issue in one of
two ways:
1. Override Rev's filetype setting. Set the filetype yourself. On Macs
this is preferable because some Macs will not have made associations yet
to your chosen extension, and on those Macs the OS will have to ask what
to do.
2. Set the filetype to "??????" which is the secret code for "unknown
file type". If the OS sees that, it will try to match the extension.
So, it's okay. ;)
