Hi,
When I download Cog 5.8b6, after opening a cog image, it gets associated with all .image files even if I never requested it to. Then, when I try to open one of many non-cog images, I get an Apple error report. If I open a Finder information dialog on a .image file and set the non-Cog VM to open all .image files, it doesn't work. I'm using Mac OS 10.6.4.
Has anyone else experienced this? How can this be fixed?

It can't be "fixed" as it's part of the Mac architecture that the most recent application that associates itself with a particular filetype becomes the system default. To work around it do a Get Properties on an image file, then use the Open With dropdown to select a different VM and click Change All.

Finder information dialog = Get Properties (at least in my world, lol).
So the problem is that Cog associates itself with .image files /in the first place/, because I never specified that. Also, trying to change back with Get Properties has no effect.
I'm having trouble reproducing it, it seems to happen intermittently. Will update...

p.s. what it felt like (i.e. I made up) was happening was that Mac OS X thought they were the same app, if that helps ;-)

Maybe they both have the same OSX app code?

They do. It's just version 5 of the Squeak VM. It's expected to become the new default.
