Developers and Depression

I work in an industry whose participants have little connection to their own behavioral and emotional life. I consider myself an escapee more than a survivor. (Thanks Chris!) It is also rare at a technical event there would be a session called "Developers and Depression". But here it is: Developers and Depressiongiven by Greg Baugues on August 16 2013 at Steel City Ruby in Pittsburgh, PA.

Getting OS X to use the application you want to open a document type

I had a little problem where Chrome was not the default viewer for XML documents on my Mac. Using the "Open With..." dialog to select the application to use with the document did not stick. In the end I used the duti utility, eg

duti -s com.google.chrome text/xml all

and this seems to have worked. Will see if it continues to work after a reboot.

The other problem is what are the applications, UTIs, or MIME types that can be used? The command

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -dump | grep ...

can be used to investigate. Further, I found a reference to AllApplications which will also help.
