I've been having this problem too, and deleting the various LaunchServices caches and plists didn't seem to help me. I had a bunch of old TextMate betas sitting in the trash, though, so I emptied that too, and that seems to have made a difference. I also tried banging my head against the wall in frustration, so I can't rule out that it might have been that instead. But I suggest you try the trash-emptying first.

Hello, I'm trying to open all .txt files with TextMate. In the finder, I select a .txt file, hit Control+i to get info. Then I select TextMate as the app to open it with, then I click "Change All". After clicking "Change All" TextMate disappears as the "Open With" app and is replaced by the text: "Not applicable". If I close the info box and double click on the .txt file, I get this error: "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -10660)." If TextMate is already open, a double click on the file in the Finder opens fine. But if TextMate is closed, it shows this error.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I think it may have been caused by renaming the beta versions of TextMate to names like "TextMate1.01b3". Maybe the Finder got confused about which app was THE TextMate to open with. I now only have the newest 1.02 version in the Apps folder.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks.
