Hello, Yes, it is an OS level setting. A file is opened with an application when it is dragged and dropped onto the Dock icon of that application only if the Info.plist file of the application bundle includes the file extension in the extension enumeration in the CFBundleTypeExtensions key. You have to Ctrl + click on the oXygen icon in Finder, select Show Package Contents, go into the Contents folder, edit the Info.plist file and add the line <string>html</string> in the list of file extensions in the CFBundleTypeExtensions key, where the xml and xhtml extensions are specified. By default the html extension is not associated with oXygen in this way because generally HTML is not XML. Regards, Sorin syd@emt.wwp.brown.edu wrote:
I cannot drag .html files either, but I can drag .xhtml files, so I suspect that changing things in either the "File Types" or perhaps the "Document Type Association" panes of the preferences would do the trick.
Nope, changing the "File Type" setting did not seem to work. This seems to be an OS-level thing. (Which, thinking about it, makes sense.)
When I look at "Get Info" for a .html or .txt file, Finder does not even list oXygen as a possible application I can choose to open it. I'm guessing that my oXygen 9.1 has not told my Mac OS X 10.5.1 that it knows how to open .txt and .html files.
