Another possibility...
Authored by: noworryz on Mar 12, '03 09:37:11PM

Another possibility is that you've left other applications, created with DropScript, sitting around on your disk, which your system has confused with your DropMount application. Use the following steps to make your application unique, as far as LaunchServices are concerned.

Control-click on your application, select "Show package contents," and double-click on the Contents folder. Discard the PkgInfo file. Select the Info.plist file and do a Command-I to Get Info. Reveal the "Ownership & Permissions" section and chose "Read & Write" for owner access. Close the Get Info Window.

Double click on the Info.plist file to run Property List Editor. Reveal the "Root" list and make the values for CFBundleIdentifier and CFBundleSignature something unique and unusual. Close and save.

Go to the terminal and delete these caches:


sudo rm /Library/Caches/*
sudo rm /System/Library/Caches/*

Restart your computer. Do a "Get Info" on a .dmg file, reveal the "Open with" section, select Other... from the pull-down menu, and select your DropMount application in the file browser. Click on the "use this application to open all documents like this" button. Close the Get Info window. Now try double-clicking on a .dmg file.
