Hi,

Any update on how to proceed with 10.8.x ?

Tks

Finally got my kext files back right, thanks V K . (open with?, try using one of alt, cmd, ctrl, Shift, etc with right click)

Thank you, this seems to have solved it for me.

I have this problem with .xml files. The default application is Finale_2014.5, and when I change it to Finale, it works for a single file, but as soon as I click on Change All, the open with text box changes back to Finale 2014.5 (default).

I have tried all the suggested fixes, but I get an error when running this command:

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

The error is -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

Is the syntax wrong for a bash commandline?

Actually, the command I run in the bash shell is:

$

$ <pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px;padding:3px;border:1px inset;width:640px;height:34px;overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreSer vices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Suppor t/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

bash does not seem to like the <pre ... stuff. Running /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

succeeds.
