![]() There seems to be an ongoing argument among these people (and those trying to advise them) about whether the fault lies with Adobe, or the El Capitan OS. Like me, they tried changing the default file opener, and also repairing the LaunchServices database, but were unable to achieve a lasting fix. I found these recent threads, where people are having similar problems with Illustrator trying to open their jpg (and other) files. ![]() A couple of days ago, the problem recurred - text files trying to open with DW, and DW icons attached to all textfiles in Finder window. This seemed to work - but only for a few wks. Then I used Onyx, as suggested in the article you linked to, to repair the LaunchServices database. I did a few things to flush caches, like powering off and unplugging, resetting NVRAM, and restarting in Safe Mode. I followed your advice, Alvarnell, and used “get info” in Finder to change the default file opener for all such files, but it didn’t stick. I posted back on Mar 29th that I was having a problem where DreamWeaver was opening my text files, instead of TextEdit. Perhaps this article will help Launch Services database problems: correcting and rebuilding. Is there a specific reason why you're running OS 10.9.2 instead of 10.9.5? I'd use Malwarebytes, but I've never been able to get it to run an entire scan without hanging at about 60% complete. I'd be less concerned, but it alerted that the virus was live, so I'd really like to see Mozilla take a look and see what's what. I downgraded ClamXav and ClamXav Sentry which fixed the issue, but the definitions are still being updated daily-I'm going to check with them to see if that has some kind of impact, though. ![]() I'm still running OS 10.9.2 on my MacBook (it's a mid-2010, which I don't want to give up because of the 17" monitor), and upgrading ClamXav itself was causing issues with runaway kexts. I've definitely got a handle on things… I really appreciate the assist, but it's not the definition updates. ![]() I'm on top of the update issue, so it's definitely not that-I've been a Mac System and Network specialist, among other things, since the very early '90s, so no need to handle me as if I'm a novice. ![]()
