In the case of URL scheme helper preferences, IC gateways through to Launch Services. Launch Services has no way to delete a URL scheme helper (other than by removing all the applications that claim this URL scheme), so you get this error.


About the only workaround that I can think of is, to disable the URL scheme, install your own URL scheme handler (that does nothing), and then set that as the default.

You can do this, at least since 10.4, with Launch Services directly.

Hi, I had a utility that I was launching from Safari by saying myutil://blah and I was setting the default handler for myutil with ICSetPref(). Now I am trying it in 10.4 and it is failing. When I look at the list of helper apps for myutil in the RCDefaultApp preference pane from:


http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp

I see that there are 3 apps listed. For instance, the debug version of my app, and another app with a different creator code that I had set before, along with the app I just set.

I tried using ICDeletePref() to just delete the default handler and then install my app with ICSetPref(), but ICDeletePref() no longer works, as answered previously in this thread.

My question is, how do I remove those other apps I am seeing, or how do I set my app as the default, above those other two? Please tell me this is possible through internet config, cuz I am about at the end of my rope as far as APIs getting yanked out from under me :-/

Thanx!
