[QUOTE="smagfx, post: 1121908, member: 174670"] No, I'm just saying that there are three properties of a file type that I am interested in: -Open-with Application -Icon -Kind text But the only way I've found so far to edit these is by setting the open-with application and that doesn't give me control over icon and kind. For example, if I set the open-with to Adobe Flash CS5, I get: Icon: A red gray and white icon from adobe. Kind text: "Adobe CS5 Document" But with TextEdit (which is what I want the open-with app to be): Icon: Blank Kind text: "AppleSingle archive" RiDE: Thanks for the reply, that sounds promising; I'll try that.
