1"Having a matching editor configured for that file type" is non-trivial. You would have to have a list or array of data linking file types with apps, independent of LaunchServices database. You could just use an AppleScript with logic to check the file type and then open with <app>.benwiggy– benwiggy2026-03-31 16:26:50 +00:00Commented 12 hours ago

@benwiggy we must be speaking different languages because from where I sit, you're saying the same thing I did (check file type, open with given app based on type)? LOL. Anyway, question answered by Aivar Paalberg more or less on those lines. :)Sean Robertson– Sean Robertson2026-04-01 01:31:39 +00:00Commented 3 hours ago

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. macbook-pro), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
