default extension application
Authored by: hamarkus on Dec 05, '03 08:08:56PM

Looking at that file on my computer it seems that only the file types which are to be opened with TextEdit are stored there. And checking the corresponding file with Acrobat 6.0.1.app shows that the .pdf extension is listed there.

But some carbon applications are not bundles (e.g. Acrobat 5, Word X), so where is it stored for the them?
I have both Acrobat 5 and 6 installed. I set .pdfs to be opened with Acrobat 6, via the Get Info command and apply to all. This did not stick all of the times, with old .pdfs still being opened in Acrobat 5.
