How can I set any file extensions associations? Thanks The Mac OS X way of associating apps with file extensions is called Launch Services. You can read about it by googling or looking on http:/ developer.apple.com When you install an app, the app contains info in its Info.plist about files that it can open, and Installer.app and Launch Services automatically do the work needed to set up the normal "my app opens foo" type associations. If you want to change an existing association, for instance, to get your app to launch and open Excel spreadsheets when users double-click files ending with .xls, you would have to write a bunch of custom code, and users should either be asked or at least clearly informed of what's going to happen, lest they become angry at you. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
