Hi,
the recent updates (I'm on the nightly builds track) keep being registered as different apps in whereever MacOSX tracks if an app can deal with a certain kind of file. So, when I do right-click->Open With, there are 4 entries for TextMate now. How can I clean this up?
Thx, Michael
The problem is a corrupt Launch Services database which can be reset by the following command in Terminal
sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/Current/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
and relaunching the Finder.
The solution is discussed in more detail here: TidBITS: Eliminate Duplicates in the Open With Submenu and also an older (2010) discussion here: Right-click open with... showing duplicate apps? - MacRumors Forums
I had the same problem and like Adam at Tidbits hadn't looked into it, but was happy to see a solution.
Glad to be able to contribute as I've always been on the other side.

Did that (both steps), but still have multiple TextMate entries in the Open With menu. :(

I just tested this
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill killall Finder
it works. How do you relaunch Finder btw? If not, a reboot probably fix it.
⌥ + right-click on Finder and click Relaunch ⌘⌥⎋ click on Finder and click Relaunch

This version worked. Thanks!

Personally I had to reboot after doing
sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/Current/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Restarting the finder, and even logging out and logging back in again, were not sufficient. Rebooting solved the problem.
Best, Darren
