Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm quite experienced with how file
association works for opening files on Mac OS X. I recall
reading somewhere that OS X keeps not only the information about
which apps can open a file, but also which apps can edit a
specific file type. I'm having problems with those applications
(Coda, Espresso, Forklift, Flow) that have an “edit with
external editor” feature, since issuing this command on HTML
files opens them with Dashcode. Dashcode of course is not the
current association for opening these files (Safari is), so it's
clearly looking for apps that can edit HTML.  Since I'd like to
use TextMate as my editor in these cases, how can I set this
preference?  share|improve this question This is a great
question! –  Matthew Schinckel Aug 4 '09 at 13:29 See also:
