How does OS X associate file - app? Da reason I'm asking... I copied a bunch of ancient MacInTax and TurboTax documents from our old PB (G3; OS 9.2.2) to our new PowerBook (15 G4; Panther). Also copied a folder that contains each tax app, going back to '95, and their prefs. On my old PB, under OS 9, double-clicking an older tax data file automagically opened the older/matching tax app. But now under Panther, they all launch the newest app only. I have to manually launch the older app then open the file from within. How do I fix this in OS X? Aside: Apparently Intuit's installers were pretty dumb. All the installs since going to OS 9 on the old PB include the OS X vers of the app too. So the most recent few years of apps don't start/require Classic. Of course those older installers won't run at all under Panther or its Classic -- which is why I did the mass-copy. Thx, - Dan. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

After some people theorically demonstrated that unknown document could trigger the launch of unknown application and thus, presenting a threat, Apple in one of their latest system update did change how the application document setting works. You won't be able to set all documents of a certain type to default to a specific application of your choosing until you launch the application at least once.
