But I'm wondering -- is there any way to tell Mac OS X that it is OK to let oXygen open a file, even though it is not the default and does not have an oXygen icon? (Or have I completely misunderstood this stuff?)
Command + click in Finder, select Open With -> Other, browse to the oXygen application bundle, check the option Always Open With of the Choose Application dialog.
If I had my druthers, oXygen would only associate its icon and be the default application for .xsl, .fo, .xslfo, and .xslt files, but would be *able* to open almost anything that I explicitly drag on top of it or try to open via the Open dialog box. I am sure that other people have similar desires with different lists of file types.
As far as I know a Mac application bundle accepts a file dropped on it only if that file type is associated with the bundle in the Info.plist of that bundle as the .xsl, .fo, .rng, etc. file types are associated currently with the oXygen application bundle.
Thanks again.
