list the default applications

[tcurdt]

There are UTIs, there are protocols and there are extensions. And I understand I can set the defaults with dtui.

But is there a way to list all the applications for a given extension and protocol - and which one is the default?

I don't think there's a way to see which applications can handle which files; for that you might need to look to launchservices.

According to the readme, though, you can at least get the default application for a file extension with duti -x .jpg for example.

EDIT: there's a downstream fork that appears to have added a good chunk of additional reporting info: https://github.com/nivekkagicom/duti/commit/589ce890e1bc97f1667ada9b0842f7521ce7675d

didn't try it yet - but it looks like I wish that would make it upstream

What about files without any extension like? Dockerfile, Containerfile? MacOS seems to make very unfortunate decisions about whom should open them, like picking either TextEdit, Notes or Xcode.

I am also curious how to list all handlers registered by specific app I want to avoid opening by mistake... like xcode.

I think these all fall under the public.source-code type. Check out my dotfiles for some example associations with duti: https://github.com/iloveitaly/dotfiles/blob/ea2e0bf0231f69f9a1bcb0b10087e46c422b18d9/duti#L15

dutis is a wrapper of duti, providing a interactive way to set default applications from command line
