Xiang Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Hi, everybody, I am trying to set file types in "file filter from keyword and open". It works fine for word and excel, but not for Igor Pro, which is a software for data analysis. How can I define new file types in Alfred?
deanishe Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 You just need to drag and drop an Igor Pro file into the File Types box.
Xiang Posted October 14, 2015 Author Posted October 14, 2015 I have tried to drag and drop an Igor Pro file into the File Types box. It shows weird string "dyn.ah62d4rv4ge81a8du". And it does not work. For other files (e.g. word), it shows "org.openxmlformats.wordprocessin..." I am afraid that the file types box does not recognize Igor Pro files.
deanishe Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Try renaming your Igor Pro file. This should cause Spotlight to re-import it. Then drag it to the File Types box again. If you still get "dyn.XXXXX", then it looks like the filetype hasn't been registered. You can re-register apps, rebuild and dump the filetypes with lsregister.
