dotfiles VS SwiftDefaultApps

This is how I install it, then the service file is very similar too it just starts this other picom executable. https://github.com/AlexAegis/dotfiles/blob/master/modules/picom/1.user.sh

I install it from repo like this: https://github.com/AlexAegis/dotfiles/tree/master/modules/powerline

https://github.com/AlexAegis/dotfiles https://github.com/AlexAegis/pont

So I decided that I do something way simpler. I suggest you read my README, or just check out my dotfile repo: https://github.com/alexaegis/dotfiles

Another example on how the modules matter more than pont itself. On it's own it has 0 context on what XDG folder locations are, but I have an xdg module (https://github.com/AlexAegis/dotfiles/tree/master/modules/xdg) that has an environmental file in ~/.config/environment.d listing my XDG config (which is pretty much the default but that doesnt matter) And a named, environment script. These environment scripts are always run, no matter what. And I'm using them to source environmental variables, so if ANOTHER module is dependent on xdg because I'm using these variables, it doesnt matter if my environment has these variables or not, pont will load them, from there.

holy shit, that works!

Use https://github.com/Lord-Kamina/SwiftDefaultApps to changing your default mail app to Safari.

Agreed, not quite perfect but at least it doesn't open Mail.

thank you!

I installed RCDefaultApp some time ago and surprisingly it still runs well under Monterey Settings. I don't use it often but when you need to get into default apps then it is great. However it hasn't been updated since 2009 and I don't know where you can get it or even if it will install. This https://github.com/Lord-Kamina/SwiftDefaultApps/releases seems to be more active although I haven't tried it myself.

OpenIn can also set itself as the default handler for specific file types. One way to change this is, in the Finder, to locate a file of the target file type (say .txt) and press Cmd-I to get the info screen. There you will see “Open with”. Changing this will change the default handler for that one file. If you want to change the default handler for all files of that type, click “Change All…”. There are other ways to do this as well, probably not worth it if you only have a few file types to update.

I have also found https://github.com/Lord-Kamina/SwiftDefaultApps but it hasn't been updated since July 2019.

I've never used it but you can try https://github.com/Lord-Kamina/SwiftDefaultApps
