[OS X TeX] iTeXMac icons and TeXShop

Hi Bruce


I think that it should be enough to go to one file called something.tex and
in the Finder do File > Show Info There is a menu saying General Information
click on that and select Open with application. Set it to TeXShop and
do the change all option.

If that doesn't work go into ~Library/Preferences and delete the files

LSApplications
LSClaimedTypes
LSSchemes


and log out and log in again.  This last trick is supposed to be the
OS X equivalent of rebuilding the desktop.
