If the Finder isn't honoring the setting established in Get Info, it sounds like just another Finder bug. I would defer to Jacque's advice: If the customer doesn't need to build standalones, he could try zipping the OS X apps inside the Runtime folder. That may force the Finder to "see" other copies of "Revo". -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Revolution training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for Rev developers: http://www.revjournal.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Does he have a standalone on his HD named "Standalone"? "Standalone" is the name of the runtime engine(s) used by the standalone builder. I see that in OS X, both Standalone and Revolution have the same creator code -- "Revo". The Finder must be getting confused. If the customer doesn't need to build standalones, he could try zipping the OS X apps inside the Runtime folder. That may force the Finder to "see" other copies of "Revo". -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

It appears so, by looking at a screenshot of the Get Info window.

Correct Rev File Association?
A customer of mine is reporting that his Mac system is currently treating stacks as standalone apps: double-clicking a stack in the Finder launches the stack as a standalone app without Rev's IDE. The problem appears to be a file-association issue. Looking in the Get Info window for the stack shows "Standalone (default)" as the default application under "Open with:". Changing this to any version of Rev and clicking "Change All..." fails to stick (reverts back to Standalone). Is there a way to force-update the default app without reinstalling Rev or resorting to a 3rd party tool?
