DTK hardware is completely unsupported at this point. Please
upgrade to real hardware. As you're seeing, the OS has changed a
lot since the last seed build.
I'm back in touch with <email@hidden> to clearify the matter.
I hope the iMac will arrive soon.
For now, I was able to verify this behaviour on a colleagues'
NoteBook, which runs Mac OS X 10.4.5 on officially unsupported
hardware (some Centrino processor). Although I know that this isn't a
valid test, the results have some significance because the OS seems
to run fine in general.
To summarise:
Calling "lsregister -f" doesn't help to make LaunchServices recognise
the application's info.plist flag...
I believe I'm doing something wrong here -- is anybody able to verify
that lsregister works the way it has been explained here?
I'd appreciate to hear that I simply failed to understand the concept
of LaunchServices.
Maybe there are additional steps to be performed for the registration
process to take effect?
To verify, you can try the following:
- Open "/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/Info.plist"
- Add the new "LSPrefersPPC" sibling and set it to boolean value "NO"
- Open up TextEdit's Finder info and activate option "Open using
Rosetta"
- Open Terminal window and type
you% /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/
Versions/Current/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/
lsregister -f -v /Applications/TextEdit.app
- optionally, restart Finder, restart Computer, or do whatever you
think might help to get the new flag recognised by LS
- Open up TextEdit's Finder info to verify the state of option "Open
using Rosetta"
Best regards,
