Thank you,
This article could allow me to have our OSX app check to see if it is
the default on startup and change it IF the command line tool "duti"
used the example was already part of OSX but is an open source that
would need to also be installed with out app - an additional level of
overhead I'd rather avoid. However, again thanks as this points me in a
possible direction of ignoring HOW OSX figure it out by default and
trying to just tell OSX which app should rule.

So we make an OSX desktop app in LiveCode that has several document
types. We add these to the info.plist file in the App bundle so they
are defined, with doc icons, extensions, types, etc.
If a user has APPv1 installed that has a plist entry for the file
extension .myext and then installs APPv2 that also has a plist entry
for file extension .myext. how does OSX tell what APP to open when a
user double clicks on document.myext?
I googled and found information on setting default app for document
types, but not how OSX handles this by default?
In window, it is the App's responsibility to check the Registry for
its document types and, it it wants to, ask the user if they want
those document associated with it. Or it is done by the app's
installer on Windows
I just can't find how OSX does it.
