I am using 3.3 and would like to associate Opener.app with *.gz files. I understand how to open up the Tools Inspector but Opener is not there, just Edit.

Hi, which version of Opener.app are you using?
Version 3.4b is associated and works fine with .gz files.
There seems to be a change in Opener version 3.2a regarding the .gz extension.

Like sappas, I am sure that version 3.3 should also work with .gz files.
Can you please confirm that you have installed Opener.app in a folder that is scanned for applications (like /LocalApps or a subfolder inside of it)?

That was it, I did not have it in LocalApps, I moved it to there and everything works now.

Interesting... Which folders are scanned for applications? If you wanted to add a new folder or change the current set, could you do it?

Not 100% sure, but it should be the path environment variables you can set in your .profile or .cshrc similar like in the global templates for sh and csh:
At least I know that /LocalApps, /NextApps, /NextAdmin, /NextDeveloper/Demos, ~/Apps and /usr/local/bin including their subfolders work for finding the apps and their functionalities.
BTW, if you use a path like my old setup below, you can additionally directly access all the binaries stored inside Geomview.app and Opener.app, too (see end of the line) :)
Code Select
> grep -i path /usr/template/user/.profile
PATH=/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sybase/bin:${HOME}/Apps:/LocalApps:/NextApps:/NextAdmin:/NextDeveloper/Demos
export PATH TERM HOMECode Select
> grep -i path /usr/template/user/.cshrc
# make sure the path is correct
set path=(~/Unix/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/ucb /bin /usr/bin /usr/sybase/bin ~/Apps /LocalApps /NextApps /NextAdmin /NextDeveloper/Demos .)At least I know that /LocalApps, /NextApps, /NextAdmin, /NextDeveloper/Demos, ~/Apps and /usr/local/bin including their subfolders work for finding the apps and their functionalities.
