Backup applications and "Open With"
Authored by: makip on Aug 25, '06 08:05:12PM
One simple way (and the way I use) is to place back-up applications in an archive. Select an archive format that preserves unix permissions such as tar.gz or sitx. Also, before I upgrade apps that impact opening all files of a certain type, I take the precaution of archiving the older version of that app.
