I have 3 revisions of TextMate: 1623, 1631, 1635 on my OS/X 10.6.8
I believe that TextMate1 is up-compatible, so I would like to discard older revisions. How to do it keeping "Open with...TextMate", and other system features unbroken.
You just delete all but the latest.
Should file associations or “open with” ever be wrong, I have this alias that I run occasionally:
alias resetLS='/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed {,~}/Applications{,/Utilities}'
By default OS X seems to associate the last seen app with a file type (if the user has no stored preference). The above clears that, and as the brace expansion is so that ~/Applications is scanned after /Applications, my “local” applications tend to be setup as default handlers for the various file types.
