Thread: Filetype registration on OS X
Hi Florian, I've been trying to figure out how to register pgAdmin as a handler for .sql files with Launch Services, however all the documentation I seem to be finding is about using Launch Services to launch a file (as Finder would), rather than registering as we need to. Any ideas, or helpful URLs I've missed? I'm trying to basically do: pgAdmin3.app/Contents/MacOS/pgAdmin3 -q -f $FILE.sql whenever $FILE.sql is launched. Regards, Dave.

I'm trying to basically do: The necessary changes to the Info.plist files are already in the SVN ;-) http://svn.pgadmin.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/pgadmin3/pkg/mac/Info.plist?rev=4615&view=markup I planned to support opening .sql files once, and added the necessary declarations to the Info.plist file, back when I added icon declaration from .sql files. Since this was shorty before release, we agreed that it was a bad time for adding code to actually open the file (the declaration just lets pgAdmin3 start when the file is doubleclicked), and so I changed the plist file not to launch pgAdmin3 when a sql-file is clicked. Well, and then I had other things to do, and quite forgot about my plan... According to http://svn.pgadmin.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/pgadmin3/pkg/mac/Info.plist?rev=4620&r1=4615&r2=4620 you just need to change CFBundleTypeRole back from Node to Editor ;-) > pgAdmin3.app/Contents/MacOS/pgAdmin3 -q -f $FILE.sql On OSX, these things are handleded via apple events - Launch Services start the app, and then send some "file open" event. It seems as if wx already supports receiving this event: http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/WxMac_Issues If this page is right, it's as easy as overriding virtual void wxApp::MacOpenFile(const wxString &fileName) Hope this helps, greetings, Florian Pflug

Is there any other funky stuff hidden away that might be useful? Anyway, I've implemented this in SVN trunk - both Windows and Mac now allow you to double click a .sql and have it open in pgAdmin's query tool :-) Thanks Florian. Regards, Dave.

Is > there > any other funky stuff hidden away that might be useful? the problem is just the lack of time, or the lack of more developers to help with wxMac, I've answered things like theseon the list only, so the wiki is a good place because people post and copy things there, also the docview sample isshowing how to do this. If in doubt you can always email me directly, or make sure wxMac is in the subject line so thatmy filters can catch it. BTW is WX_2_8_BRANCH ok for you, I'll notify Apple in a few days once 2.8.4 has been tagged. Best, Stefan

I had a bug open for that for ages, but it was noted on there this week that it's fixed for 2.8.4. So I think it's good... I assume this will be bundled with Leopard? Thanks, Dave.
