some old notes that say to change the file types listed in the
File Open dialog, I should edit the texworks-config.txt file in

Rather than going directly to ~/Library/TeXworks/configuration, I
would instead use the TeXworks "Help" menu, option "Settings and
Resources", then follow the clickable link from "Resources" where
you should see :<br>
<blockquote>completion<br>
configuration<br>
scripts<br>
translations<br>
TWFile Versions.db<br>

Under "configuration" you should see "auto-indent-patterns.txt" ...
texworks-config.txt ... tools.ini<br>
<br>
In texworks-config.txt you should see <br>
