The underlying OS still knows what the files are: tsubasa:~/tmp gperciva$ ls foo.mi* foo.mid foo.midi tsubasa:~/tmp gperciva$ file foo.mi* foo.mid: Standard MIDI data (format 1) using 3 tracks at 1/384 foo.midi: Standard MIDI data (format 1) using 3 tracks at 1/384 tsubasa:~/tmp gperciva$ mv foo.mid foo.txt tsubasa:~/tmp gperciva$ file foo.txt foo.txt: Standard MIDI data (format 1) using 3 tracks at 1/384 tsubasa:~/tmp gperciva$ I can double-click on both foo.mi* files and have Quicktime open up and play the files. However, trying to open foo.txt results in TextEdit popping up. I actualy consider this *more* broken than Windows. I mean, Windows is just stupid. OSX *isn't* stupid, but it pretends to be. I have no clue what the Aqua people were up to. :( Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
