Yes, thanks for that James. I¹ve now downloaded & installed the plug-in and it is certainly easier than running the Automator script for each file! Cheers Neil -- Neil R. Houghton Albany, Western Australia Tel: +61 8 9841 6063 Email: n...@possumology.com on 16/9/09 6:16 AM, David Nicholas

Thanks for this one, James. It fixed an annoying difficulty I have had in downloading csv reports from Toastmasters International with Leopard. David On 12/09/2009, at 9:46 AM, James Devenish wrote: Hi Neil, Sorry I missed your original posting. I use CSV files extensively. The issue

Hi all, On the topic of default programmes, downloads, etc., one utility I have always consulted is the RCDefaultApp preference pane: http://www.rubicode.com/Downloads/RCDefaultApp-2.0.1.X.dmg While it doesn't work miracles, it does offer a range of information and programme settings about file t

Re: .tif and Snow Leopard

Hi Neil, Sorry I missed your original posting. I use CSV files extensively. The issue is that 10.5's QuickLook doesn't have a setting for CSV files -- it treats them as unknown. You can download a nifty CSV plugin for QuickLook here: http://code.google.com/p/quicklook-csv/ (I have used this one..

Re: .tif and Snow Leopard

Yes this change seems to have upset a few people! I must admit I preferred the old behaviour where, for example: General html files were handled by my browser (Firefox) by default - but if I was creating or editing a html file in BBEdit it would open back up in BBEdit. Similarly, Preview was my

Hi Michael, What version of Firefox did you update from? After updating Firefox did you restart Firefox or restart your computer? Firefox is known for Bookmarks not showing after an update until you either restart Firefox or restart your computer. Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro Intel Core 2

The article is very clear and as a result I have sent feedback to Apple. Thank goodness for TimeMachine: today I updated Firefox. When it opened, it lacked all bookmarks and passwords. Why does it do this? Regards, Michael Hawkins. On 10/9/09 9:02 AM, "Daniel Kerr" wrote: > > Peter's correct

Hi Glen, All was set up as you suggest. It made no difference. The document opened in Preview in so far as the icon for each page appeared in the side-bar and I could print the document. I just couldn't read it in preview (the main pane stayed blank). That problem does not happen if I change th
