Hi, I have two versions of pd-extended on my mac: pd-extended (0.39) and pd-0.40.3-extended. I want all pd files to be opened with 0.39 by default. Instead os x tries to open all Pd files with a version (0.40.3) which I deleted some time ago. oh, how I hate stupid MACOS X! anyway, how can I change that. I tried to use applications like xray, but whenever I change the settings to the older version it gets overwritten by that fascist OS that thinks it is cleverer than me. marius.
Hi Marius
This worked for me:
In Finder, Get Info on any Pd file, Open With -> choose your version -> Change All...
Hope this helps

yes, that should do it, but not here. when I select Pd-extended it immediately get reset. there must be some hidden mechanism that always choses the newer version or a file where that is stored... I have no clue what I have to search for to get this fixed. marius.

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.

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.

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.

It's not a secret, it's decently documented on Apple's site. The
registration happens when you start the app. The OS reads the
"Contents/Info.plist" that's inside the app when you launch it.

ok. since steffen got different behaviour on his computer, I did some more testing, and indeed with the current format given in plist for the key CfBundleVersion this information is useless, because osx cannot interpret it correctly. that means the default app is the one that you installed first. also, Info.plist is only read the very first time you start the application, so in order for the version number to take effect, you have to delete the app and reinstall it. I tested two different autobuild versions, one from 20071117 and one from 20080117. the one that I installed first became the default version and could not be changed later. then I used a different format for CfBundleVersion (0403.71.117 vs. 4003.80.117 [osx will only read 9 numbers!]) and then always the latest release became the default, no matter which version was installed first. I don't know what a good version naming scheme would be, and also pd-extended does not conflict with pd vanilla or for example netpd (I guess because these use different preference files for plist). so - the advantage of using CfBundleVersion would be that always the latest (of several) autobuild versions would be selected as the default app to open *.pd (and *.pat) files. I think this would be helpful marius.
