File association for MacOSX broken

 
Hi,

Under MacOSX when you try to rebind the default start up squeak vm of  
a .image it don't work.

With the Finder you select a .image file and hit the cmd+i key after  
you to change the default app and set it for all file.
When you start agin your image it always the previous VM. You can't  
change it.

Ideas?
thx

Well which VM is used is a function of what the finder thinks should  
be used.

If you have a mixture of Mac Carbon VMs, and Mac Unix VMs, this might  
be an interesting excerise for os-x to sort out which one it should use.

Plus of course your launch services database could be corrupt.

ok, well if you do a get info, and change the

Open with:  to say point to
Squeakk 3.8.17beta4U.app
and hit the change All...
button
does that help?

Also you might need to duplicate that latest Squeak VM in the Finder  
in order for launch services to pay attention, and of course consider  
the link I sent about rebuilding your launch services database.

It's exactly what I do and it don't work.
Could it be the way that Squeak app is build?

I have consider your link but as soon as I lunch the other VM I  
couldn't set back Squeak VM default app.

No idea, you would have to find documentation on how launch services  
makes it decisions in order to say there is a problem
with how the info.plist is constructed.
