I have found for years a generic thing with MacOS is that it sometimes forgets
that particular applications exist and so ignores them when resolving what
double-clicking a file does. So when that happens, typically the only fix
required is to just open the BBEdit application directly, which reminds the OS
that it exists, and then files associated with it work again for
double-clicking. This assumes a scenario where double-clicking used to work
right and then suddenly stopped. -- Darren Duncan

Anybody else have a problem with TextEdit being invoked when double-clicking on
a .txt file that is set to be opened with BBEdit? This has been an annoyance
over several versions of the OS.
All .txt files are set to BB and their file icons reflect this. But
double-clicking them or choosing Open opens them in TextEdit. Choosing my
contextual command Open in BBEdit works OK. The latest straw was in using Hook's
command to Make a New Note in BBEdit. It, too, makes the file in TextEdit.
Have tried making a zip of TE and deleting the original (so I didn't lose it
completely), but can't seem to do this even in Terminal due to some magical
protection conveyed by its living in /System/Applications/ I guess.
I have a lot of apps installed, but don't recall any other setting I've changed
that would cause this. Is there a default text editor config I'm missing?
Thanks for any help,
Brian
