Apart from any syntax issues, scripts in installation packages generally run as root. So your "defaults" command below is most likely affecting _root_'s com.apple.LaunchServices preferences. This would explain why it works when you run it manually in Terminal -- you are probably running it in your own user context. -Greg On May 30, 2014, at 1:58 AM, James Pritchard <james@emnetsoftware.com> wrote:
Has anyone had experience associating a file type during an install? I have a script as shown below:
#!/bin/sh
defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices LSHandlers -array-add '{ LSHandlerContentType = "net.company.software.file"; LSHandlerRoleAll = "net.company.software.app"; }'
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
When I run this script from Terminal it works fine but when I add it to my Packages installer. The second part of the script doesn't seem to run. The file associations aren't changed until I restart the computer.
Does anyone know what might be happening?
