Scott,
I guess what happens is that you would need to select one of those files (probably with a .sh file extension) in the finder, press apple- I (get info) and change its associated applications to X11.app…
As I said in my previous email, "If I Get Info, I cannot change the file association back to X11 due to permissions."
The files don't end with a .sh extension, as they are not shell scripts. They are the actual executables installed by Darwinports. Here's the output of the file command:
$ file /opt/local/bin/kmail /opt/local/bin/kmail: Mach-0 excecutable i386
Therefore, there is no extension I can select for using 3rd party tools that allow me to change file associations based on file types.
When I try to use Apple-I, after 4 screens, I am finally told that I can't change the files, as I don't have permission to do so. They are, after all, owned as follows:
$ ls -l /opt/local/bin/kmail -rwxr-wr-x 2 root admin [snip] /opt/local/bin/kmail
So, since I can't use Apple-I, I now have 2 questions:
1. Is anyone else having this problem? 2. Short of removing TextMate (which I have done, but I can, of course, reinstall it), is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks.
Scott
