Re: How to find which applications for this file?

2006-08-18 Thread Björnke von Gierke
I wanted to do the same on Mac OS X,  it seems the only api for such a 
thing is the Carbon one: "Launch services"
I made a command line standalone that facilitates it with filepaths. I 
can send it to you if you want it (no source code).


the usage is:
 -default 
gives back the standard application
 -all 
gives back all the apps that claim to open up the file.

to use it from rev you'd do this:
shell("test -all /Users/Test/Desktop/test.rev")

The "launch document " can open the corresponding 
application like a double-click in the Finder/Windows Explorer. But 
has anyone some tricks to get a list of compatible application for a 
file or MIME: Applescript (on MacOSX) or shell commands (MacOSX, 
Windows, Linux)?


Thanks for each appropriate reply!
