If someone might verify that this isn't just a problem with my system (DTS, Mac OS X 10.4.3 Build 8F1111), I will write a bug report...

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, Dirk Stegemann
