Double clicking a .tx file should open it in Tiled.app
Describe the bug Double clicking a .tx file should open it in Tiled.app
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- open a Finder window.
- double click on a .tx file
*Expected behavior Tiled.app should open the template file in the Template editor.
Work around By holding Option+CMD the .tx file can be dragged & dropped onto the Tiled.app icon. Now the file is opened correctly.
Specifications:
- macOS 12.3.1
- Tiled Version: 1.8.5
Yeah, that's a good thing to look into. I'm not sure if it's enough to just add a line with tx
to the Info.plist file, but that'd be a start at least. Probably tsx
, as well as tmj
, tsj
and tj
(more specific extensions supported by the JSON format) and tiled-project
should be added there as well.
It would be nice if the Windows installer also associated those other formats with Tiled, ideally optionally. Looks like only TMX is registered: https://github.com/mapeditor/tiled/blob/3d8724f91ba53d7c1d245b5a8f778662a7aa5d0d/dist/win/installer.wxs#L142-L147
It looks like in some versions of Windows (or at least in some combinations of settings?), manual registrations display a different, less clear icon than the built-in association, so even though it's fairly easy to make the associations manually after installing, it would be nice to have the installer make them.

On my Windows manual associations look fine, but I can see why they'd be suboptimal on theirs. I imagine it's just some settings difference, but Windows doesn't make it easy to find xP
