I've checked and unchecked share applications in windows with OSX and vice versa. Reboot between. Manually repopulated. Every OSX app appears except one - BetterZIP which I want to associate with compressed files in Windows. Is there any way to manually do this? Is this a bug? Why is this the only app missing? OSX 10.5.5, Parallels 4.0.3540
This could be because BetterZIP does not report supported file-types in it's PLIST. You need to add ".zip" file association for that application, if it's not yet there. In Finder, control-click BetterZIP.app, select "Show Package Contents". In Contents folder, select info.plist. Open info.plist using Property List Editor.app, available on the OS-X distribution disks in the developer section, or use regular text editor, NOTE: edit it as a regular text file, NOT Rich Text format. Next to "Root", option-click the disclosure triangle to see all values. Scan the values, edit the values by clicking on them. Find section <key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key> You need to create something like the following section - Reboot your Mac and everything should work. Send here Info.plist from BetterZIP, so i can take a look if this is indeed the source of your problem. Regards, Max
First, look at thread and my comment in it: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?p=134562#post134562 Can you write a full path to this application (where it installed)? As quick solution that you can try, is to create Mac OS X alias (or symbolic link) on your application in /Applications folder.
Then follow the steps described in my post: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?p=134562#post134562
