Hijacks hjspilt files #189

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
For some reason, unarchiver tries to open split files (extension ending in 001, 
002, etc), even 
though there is no such extension in its preferences. After changing the .001 
files to open with the 
proper app (AJoiner), eventually Unarchiver hijacks them again and tries to 
open them.

The Unarchiver does not "hijack" files. OS X handles filetype associations, and 
is very bad 
at it. The Unarchiver lists .001 and so on as supported types, because split 
zip files use 
these extensions. OS X then notices this and assigns it to handle them. Use 
"Get Info" to 
change it by hand, that's the only way to get around it.
