MacOS – How to Open .dist extension as folder on Mac OS X

eclipsefinderjavamacmacos

I'am currently developing Java application with Eclipse IDE and having this folder named "workspace.dist". This contains the deployed portlet to be deployed to a framework. Now my problem is, Mac OS recognizes workspace.dist as TextMate extension (a text editor). For the mean time, I had to "Show Package Content" thru context menu to open this file.

So my question is if there a way to associate .dist extension as Finder?

Thank you!

  1. Quit TextMate and open /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Info.plist in a text editor.

  2. Remove the highlighted content from line 531 per the screenshot below:

  3. Log out and back in.
