How to rebuild the LaunchServices database
Authored by: joey03 on Jan 05, '04 01:50:06PM

When I type "lsregister" in Terminal (bash or tcsh shell), I get "command not found" in 10.3.2. Anyone else?

How to rebuild the LaunchServices database

Would that not be because the directory where it is to be found is not in your search path? That must be why the hint includes the complete path to it.

How to rebuild the LaunchServices database

When I used the lsregister command as given in the hint, with the full path, it did not work. I had to do "locate lsregister" to find the complete path for my system, which included two "Versions/A" folders in the folder tree.

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister

Whatever the path is for your system, "locate" should find it for you.
