Hi,
Thanks for the pointer to that thread.
Turns out I had found RCdefaultApp independently. And even after setting everything I could find to "TextMate", I'm still having the problem. Even the UTI public.data setting and application/octet-stream setting are now for TextMate, but double-clicks go elsewhere. Where they go seems to change -- before it was TeXShop, but now after a restart they are going to GraphicConverter!

He used an application RCdefaultApp to change the public.data UTI to be TextMate instead of TextEdit.

Here is a link to RCdefaultApp: http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/
Let me know how it works out.
