This is a seemingly simple question but I can't find an answer so far despite search quite a bit.

I'd like that when I open a .dotsystemfile in finder (i.e. .htaccess or .vimrc) it opens in a different editor than textedit. Doing the regular change-all in the info panel won't do the trick as it gives the following error:

"

An error occurred while changing the application that opens “.vimrc” because not enough information is available.

Do you want to open “.vimrc” with “MacVim.app”?

"

This isn't a huge issue but it is like a small splinter that I've love removed. Thanks for any helpful information.
