Can't set associations with duti #27

Hi there,

I'm having trouble setting associations using duti.

$ duti -x rtf                              
Xcode.app
/Applications/Xcode.app
com.apple.dt.Xcode

$ duti -s com.apple.TextEdit .rtf all 
# I tried with sudo too, and the `echo` syntax, nada

$ duti -x rtf                             
Xcode.app
/Applications/Xcode.app
com.apple.dt.Xcode

If I use GetInfo to change the association then I get:

$ duti -x rtf                             
TextEdit.app
/Applications/TextEdit.app
com.apple.TextEdit

duti version is 1.5.4. I'll be running OS X 10.9.5 until Apple fixes the egregious bugs they introduced subsequently. Let me know if there's any more info I need to supply.

Regards, iain

FWIW I believe the set command should be: duti -s com.apple.TextEdit public.rtf all As the set command takes a UTI not an extension: usage: duti -s bundle_id uti role Hope the above is helpful.

Ah, I see. Thanks very much @nivekkagicom.
