Hello all,

as the issue about "lsregister" not recognising an application's changed info.plist files is still not solved, I'm resending the message; maybe somebody is able to share some sample code / script / whatever that successfully demonstrates how to programmatically change an application's "Open using Rosetta" flag on a shipping Intel- Mac?


Best regards, Dirk Stegemann

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"
