Is the QT plug-in also set as the helper (in file helpers) for the
same file type?
Rob,
Yep - that's the helper that gets set, even if I have thrown it out
first. That is, if I delete every file helper that deals with TIFF
images (there are usually 4, comprising each combination of
image/x-tiff and image/tiff MIME types and .tif and .tiff
extensions) and create a new one (or new ones for the above
combinations) designating a particular application (e.g. Preview), I
can get the application to open the file. This only works until I
quit and relaunch Explorer, after which new file helper prefs using
the QT plugin have somehow been recreated. It's as though Explorer
recognizes the presence of the QT plugin and that this supercedes
(and overwrites) the one(s) I created.
Does this point to an explanation or solution?
Dunno. I wonder if QuickTime's settings are ignoring IE's prefs. If
you'd like to try another angle, go to:
System Preferences>Quicktime>Plug-in>Mime Settings
Check to see if QT plug-in is set to handle tiffs. If so, turn it
off, change your IE settings again, and see if it fixes it.
Good luck!
