Replicated "Open With" items after OS X migration.
Submitted by Mintsauce on Mon, 2006-10-30 09:44.
HELP!!! Over the weekend I migrated my "stuff" from my old to my new laptop. I'm running OS X 10.4.8 and have run into this little problem. All my "Open With" items are ducplicated, and some even triplicated. Leaving me with a list that fall to my feet when I click on it.
See the attached files to see what I mean.
How do I fix this?

Have you tried?
By deleting the .plist files of the adobe applications?
You'll find them by using spotlight.. No worry if you delete them, new ones are being made next time you reboot your computer or start the applications..
Try that?
Your App Cache is Hosed.
Try downloading this free app (Maintenance 1.0.1) and let it do it's thing.

Specifically, you need to rebuild the LaunchServices database.
Thanks...
@Tigerstorm - plist ended up being too daunting. thx for the advice.
@thornysarus & apfhex - maintenance 1.0.1 did the job.
