[QUOTE="Old Rogue, post: 1389282, member: 245944"] [FONT="Times New Roman"][SIZE="3"]I know this has been discussed in the past, but since I've never, [I][B]ever[/B][/I] had a problem with it, I didn't pay much attention. My Mac is now opening all rtf and txt documents in Text Edit. Long ago, when I switched over to Bean for text documents, and something else before that, I did the Get Info > Open With trick on a document, changed it to Bean, then clicked "Change all..." It's worked fine for years, but now every time I log in or reboot, documents open in Text Edit. It's not just Text Edit either. I also prefer to use Movist to watch videos rather than Quicktime, which has become buggy. Same deal; it lasts until I log out or reboot. And another problem is when I open many of my apps, I get the warning: [I]"You are opening the application “Bean.app” for the first time. Are you sure you want to open this application?"[/I] Sometimes I get, [I]"Firefox was downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?"[/I] These are applications I have been using for years. [B]I've Repaired Permissions and Rebuilt Launch Services repeatedly, but nothing works.[/B] I hate Lion, nothing but trouble.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
