How to rebuild the LaunchServices database
Authored by: Ganymede on Jan 06, '04 03:58:27AM

I'm still running 10.2.8, plan to install Panther this next week. Neither the path nor the command (-kill) worked for me as is. I found the app at ...LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister. Upon invoking the hint's command line using my path, I got the "usage" spiel: different from that listed by the hint's author, mine does not include -kill, -lint, -f or -dump.

When I tried the command with my path and leaving out the -kill switch, it seemed to work. As I've not been having any trouble with "Open with" and allies, I saw no result. A little anti-climactic, but filed away for future reference. Thanks very much!

btw, who (or what) is CF that we should ask about the domains' applications locations?

CF must refer to CoreFoundation.
