Hi,

In my MacOS 10.5, it has set all my *.patch files to open with 'Notepad in Windows Via parallel'.
I have tried to change it by 1. click 'OpenWith..' 2. select 'TextEdit' 3. check the 'Always Open With' box

But still when I get new *.patch file, it will set to open 'Nodepad in Windows' by default.

Can you please tell me how can I change that for good?

Thank you.
