Hello,
How can I get 10.5.6 to use TextMate as the default application to
open text files instead of using TextEdit?
For example, if I do the following, I'd like the new file to open in
TextMate:
grep 'test' *.c > newfile
open newfile
Currently, this opens in TextEdit (ugh).
For files with an extension, I can get the system to use TextMate for
all files with that extension.
But I'd like something that works automatically for files without
extensions (like "newfile" in the example).
Also while it works to use "get info" to set the "open with"
application for an existing file,
when I do "Change All..." to use TextMate, I get the following error:
An error occurred while changing the application that
open "newfile" because not enough information is
available.
I'm using Version 1.5.8 (1498).
Thanks,
Bill Paxton
