OS X [#1329]

Hikaru79: OS X (2008-03-16 23:28) [#4511]

If anybody has instructions for doing this for OS X and could possibly fill it in, that would be hugely useful. I've tried various things to get it to work, but to no avail. I'd really appreciate it, thanks :)

you should be able to do something similar to Linux (associating with a script). I haven't put any effort into trying it myself, but seems like it should work.

I've tried that; the problem is that in OS X, you can't associate extensions with scripts, only with .app packages, and I'm not sure how you'd wrap a shell script into an .app package, nor how .app's handle parameters. If anyone does, that'd be helpful too :)

no wonder I couldn't find this thread on GoDiscussions - I forgot that I read it here on Sensei's. ( [ext] http://www.godiscussions.com/forum/showthread.php?p=67965#post67965 )

try

Platypus is a Mac OS X program for creating application wrappers around scripts

I'm not sure if you're the same person who also recommended it on the GD thread, but if so, thank you :) I have used Platypus to make an acceptable fix. See the thread for details.
