How to Keep Oxygen from Opening Epubs on OSX?
I use Oxygen to run the EPUB generation plugin for the Toolkit. I have it configured to "open in browser", which should launch the EPUB in Adobe Digital Editions, but it looks like Oxygen took over the EPUB association so the EPUB opens in Oxygen rather than ADE. I tried using Open... In Finder to make ADE the default opener again but it didn't seem to take.

Hi Eliot, The EPUB associations was added to the Info.plist of the Oxygen.app. To remove it you have to Ctrl-click(or right click) on the Oxygen application icon(Oxygen.app) in Finder and from the pop-up menu select Show Package Contents. Then navigate to the Contents directory and open for editing the Info.plist file. You can open it with either the 'Property List Editor' or with 'TextEdit'. Search for "EPUB" and you should find the section for EPUB files. Remove or comment the entire "dict" element that associates the 'epub' extension. This will prevent Oxygen from re-associating itself with EPUB files.

Or you can use the free RCDefaultApp preference pane to set the default application of your choice: <http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/> This is a handy tool to have around and allows you to set all the application associations for your system in once place, without having to muck around in .plist files or various applications' preferences dialogs.

Sorry for the Mac OS X off-topic, but this application seems interesting, and I didn't find any license information. Do you know anything about it? Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/
