In the aftermath of (and "premath"/before) trying to get XMLmind XML
Editor to open files via double-click in Finder, I also fiddled with the
preference for default previewer application. The default is that the
command this command:
* open "%U"'
But I have also tried specifying a particular Web browser, such as
Firefox, via that same command:
* open -W -n -a /Applications/Firefox.app "%F"
However, when using the latter solution, what happens is that a /second/
instance of Firefox is opened (or a second instance of Safari, if that
is what I set as default preview app). Of course, Firefox refuses to run
a second instance - so that does not work at all, for Firefox.
But anyway, what I have ended up with is to rely on the default setting
- that is what seems to work best. Except that right now, on the OSX
10.10 computer, I have some problems even with the default settings
(which I will save for later, if they don’t rectify themselves):
Therefore I am motivated to ask about is the issue I described above -
that a second instance is opened. Is that a bug? Can it be rectified,
e.g. by editing the command?
On the Mac, the command invoking the "default viewer" is indeed:
open "%U"
If you have found a problem with this default, then please file a formal
bug report[*] about this.
Now, in case you don't like the default value, the command invoking the
"default viewer" can be specified using Options|Preferences, "Helper
applications" section, "Default viewer" field.
See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/toolsOptions.html#helperApplicationsOptions
Please understand that we provide no support whatsoever about the custom
command you specify in this "Default viewer" field. It's up to you to
figure out what to do.
