double click open text files osx
Message 1 in thread
I've noticed a very very weird bug in all Qt apps I've produced for
OSX. When I open my app, then go to the desktop and doubel click say a
text file, instead of opening the text file in the registred text
editor OSX tries to open it with my app which knows nothing about txt
files. Why on earth is this occuring? Do I need to customize the
Info.plist file to specfically list filetypes I support or something?
I've never registred my app to be the default app for opening such
files....

Ha! I've noticed this strange behaviour too, and I thought I had
unintentionally done something to cause it to happen. And when you
Get Info on the file, it claims that it will open in TextEdit, though
it tries to open in MyApp. MyApp is not even listed as a potential
handler of .txt files in the "Open With" combo box.
In my case, this is applications using Qt 3.3.x
Of course, I can't reproduce this on one of my Macs just now :(
