I want to asssociate the .exe
file extension to Mono (don't care about wine).
Apparently, when using Finder's GUI, only .app
files (application bundles) can be selected. But the Mono executable (/Libraries/Frameworks/Mono.Framework/Current/bin/mono) is no such bundle.
I tried some AppleScript
on run this_file
do shell script "mono this_file &"
end run
but Finder's GUI still doesn't allow to associate that with .exe
's.
How to associate a specific file extension to a command-line application in Mac OS X?

Using Automator to save the following as an Application works fine for me, also for new files:
Replace
echo "$f"
withmono "$f" &
. So:I have not tested step 5 with
mono
, but with the following, which also uses the command line though:(I am not an AppleScript expert.)
