I am running PSPad (a Windows programming editor) on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard) using Wine 1.1.35.

I want to associate various file extensions (.php, .js, .html) with PSPad.exe.

Finder does not allow this association. I can only associate file types with $.app items in Applications.

How do I get Mac OS X to pass a file to Wine/PSPad when I double click it in Finder?

You need to create an AppleScript (or other Mac executable) that wraps PSPad.exe and Wine, which you can then associate in the Finder with those file types. See http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX/FAQs#head-8ce99bcac8d68bfcc6f7c58895110da202927611 for some instructions on doing that.

  • Thanks Jon -- tried this and while it does create an app which can be associated with file types, it fails to open a file (filename.php) in the editor when double clicking on filename.php. I've given up trying to get this to work and switched to jEdit. – Damion Hankejh Apr 06 '10 at 17:32

I am not sure if it would work, but you could create a symbolic link called whatever.app and have that link to the PSPad.exe file.
