Re: Enable 'Open With for all' to work for some apps

You should just be able to put /unix/path/to/the/app/to/update.app after -f (and skip the rest of the stuff). That's always worked for me.

Alternatively, simply moving an app from the Applications folder or subfolder to another location and then moving it back should cause LaunchServices to pick up any Info.plist updates.

I often use the "move and move back" method when I'm making a single, known change, but for serious hacking/trial-and-error, I have an AppleScript droplet that wraps the command line, as "move and move back" gets old pretty quickly ;)
