Yup, fun fun fun. I have found that it'll only register a given copy
of Pd if you run it.

the latest on this topic. I finally figured out, why osx associates
so many Pd versions with the *.pd file extension. osx indexes also
applications that are not in the /Applications folder at all, but
somewhere on the harddrive (for example in "build" folders or
downloaded files folders). I only got rid of these versions in the "open with" entries by
deleting the unwanted apps themselves. both "open with" and also
the drop down menu in the get info dialog are working again. I also think different release versions which use the same pref
file, like org.puredata.plist (in ~/Library/Preferences) will
always switch to the newest version by default, therefore you
cannot chose version 40-2 if there is also a version 40-3, 41.0.
since some pd versions use a different name for the prefs file, it
is sometimes possible to set another pd version as the default app
for *.pd files. marius.marius schebella wrote:
Yes, that is true, but it was the only possibility to get rid of
the double entries. at least the only one that I found. marius. Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:Watch out, I am pretty sure that it deletes all your associations

I finally found the solution to this annoying problem. you have to rebuild the launch service database (see http:// www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486 ) I ran the following command, and that fixed it.
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/ Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r
-domain local -domain system -domain usermarius.

This is a bug I run into a lot. Basically, if you have a lot
of versions of Pd, it confused the assocations system. Try
removing random ones. I have found that I have to clean out
the associations system from time to time because I am always
trying many different versions. I forgot how to do it now... I think it's done by deleting
some file in /Library/Caches and rebooting. .hc On Oct 2, 2007, at 11:45 AM, marius schebella wrote: > yes, that should do it, but not here. when I select Pd- > extended it > immediately get reset. there must be some hidden mechanism
