I have some files that have an association I want to remove. I also don't have an alternative association which would be easier. Anyway to remove the associations with a file type?

I'm trying to figure out how to restore file associations to their defaults, but not as a blanket setting for all files of the same general type. Before I made the mistake of resetting it, .jpg files that had been opened and saved in PhotoShop automatically opened in PhotoShop when clicked. Any .jpg files that had NOT already been saved in PhotoShop defaulted to Preview.app.
I had an issue with a couple of older image files and opened the file info on one of them. Without thinking, I told all files of the type to open in PhotoShop (guess I was thinking I was applying the change to just that folder. Wrong.)
Now, I can only get one or the other option for all .jpg's, not both. All Preview or all PhotoShop.
Does anyone know of a way of bringing back the original dual-opening behavior? It may not seem like a big deal, but I work with thousands of images each day and having Leopard differentiate between them makes a big difference in work flow.
How do I reset file associations? For some reason .sh files is currently set to be opened by Netbeans and other editors. Is there a better extension for shell scripts? I've heard of .command. Should I use that?
How do I change all music and video files to be opened by VLC? Are there any pseudo URL schemes that can be associated with the video/audio player that I can change too?
I'd like to change some MIME-type associations, i.e. which program opens which file type. So far I have only found out how to change this setting for a single file (e.g. opening a wmv file with VLC instead of Quicktime via "Open with" ) but I've yet to find the place where I can change this setting globally.

Two days ago I backed up my MBP with Super Duper and then did a clean install of Snow Leopard.
Installed VMware Fusion.
Installed my Mac applications including Unison. All of the RAR files are associated with XP on Parallels!
The only thing I can think of is that I had Parallels installed on my computer before and somehow when I had my Super Duper drive attached to my new install it picked up something from that?
How do I get rid of all this stuff? How do I set certain things like .exe fies to unknown (or at the very least Fusion)?
I made an image of a partition on my hard drive. The partition takes up 8gb but the actual content in it is below 4gb, the rest is just empty space. The image, no matter what I do or how I do it, keeps turning out to be 8gb as well, and then when I mount it, it has more than 4gb of empty space. How do I shrink the disc image to remove the empty space?! Nothing seems to be working. I tried hdiutil resize in an attempt to resize the dmg to 4gb, and it returned an error saying that is below the minimum size...? I also tried hdiutil compact and it returned an error saying Function not implemented. Is there anything I can do in order to shrink this dmg to delete all the useless space? It's important, because I need to burn it to a DVD.

View 8 Replies View RelatedOk so I realized that I only have 15 GB left so I went through and moved all the files I want to keep onto a external hard drive then was going to format my HDD, reinstall snow leopard then put the files back, 'cause I thought that formatting it would befaster than deleting over 120GB of stuff in the trash. But I can't find my snow leopard disk so I was thinking of creating a new account then deleting the one I use now. So I guess my question is would this work and will I gain back all of the space on my hard drive.
View 4 Replies View RelatedDoes the exclusion of a file or directory remove any existing, already backed up versions of that file or directory from TimeMachine? I have a large file I don't want backed up every time I connect to my backup drive. It's 50GB+. I rarely touch the file, and when I do, I don't use it for anything that needs to be saved, it is a historical only version of my Parallels from an older Microsoft OS. I occasionally need to open it to just look at something, but never 'do' anything with it.Â
I want to exclude it, but don't want any older version of the file to be removed from backup. Does anyone know if exclusions are retroactive into the TimeMachine database? Given this is 50GB+, trying it to find out is a quite slow process.Â

Given the disaster with Lion 10.7.3 and how it writes passwords in plaintext to secure.log I have migrated to FileVault 2. Now I want to securely delete the secure.log file. With the finder I can delete a file and empty the trash securely. But is there a way to remove files securely from the command line?

Right Click on Dock icon. Show Package Contents.
Then open Contents and then Resources. View from Menubar on top. View as list. Then click kind on top of window and view by file type. Select all the .png files. Right click and say Move to Trash.
Restart the computer and see it. If I remove the 3d effect it looks ugly. But with 3d dock on it looks cool. Almost blending in like there is no dock at all.

p1 and p2 are blue background and p3 and p4 are X logo. But as in p2 and p4 if I open Safari I get a small shadow. And it goes away if I minimize or quit safari. Still not bad.
Or this is the normal look with 3d and all the files in tact before I edited anything.

But I can't decide which looks cooler. With or without dock.
