OSX maps file to app by both meta data and extension, and meta data has higher priority. Both mapping is written to LaunchServise database by installed application. You can of cause add the database item by "Always Launch With" Finder option. If a file passes non Mac environment, i.e., Windows file system or the Internet, resource folk is stripped, and so is metadata. The file no longer has metadata so application mapping becomes extension dependent. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
