Indeed, the problem is that that is exactly what *does* happen, e.g. a .rb
file saved with TextMate opens when double-clicked with Xcode or Coda,
behavior that drives me insane. I wish TextMate *would* mark files it
creates as belonging to itself. Some apps (e.g. Script Debugger, which deals
in .scpt files that might also be opened by Script Editor) make this a pref;
that seems reasonable behavior. m.
