My project has two file types (file.g and file.act) that produce odd
behavior in xcode. They are both intended to be edited as plain text
files and the default text editor works fine. The odd behavior
happens when I double click on them. I normally edit in a single
window but occasionally, I want to have two edit windows open. Double
clicking a file in the project list usually opens that file in a new
editor window, exactly what I want to happen. However, for somefile.g
or somefile.act, although it opens up using the default text editor
in the main window, when I double click, some .g and .act files open
in a new xcode editor window as intended but not all. Some will only
open in the main window.
I used the finder get info to change the default application that
finder uses to open the .g files to subEthaEdit and then the .g files
that were only opening in the main window opened in subEthaEdit.
The .g files that were previously opening in a new xcode editor
window continued to do that.
If I weren't so anal, I could live with some files opening in
subEthaEdit when I double click but I really would like to know why
some do and some don't.
I tried using the menu option to open file in a separate editor: same
behavior as double clicking. I could find no way to tell xcode to
always use the default text editor on a particular file.
I tried opening some file that I knew worked when I double clicked
with the intention of then changing the file in the new editor
window but apparently an editor window does not provide any way to
change the file that it is editing. That only happens in the main
window. I would have thought that if the new window was selected and
you opened a file, that file would be opened in the selected window,
however, that is not the case. It should be.
