File association issue when starting session from template

[admix]

When I begin a new PT session from a PT8 template file, using the N command, the .ptf file created doesn't get associated with Pro Tool, but strangely with Sound Miner.

This doesn't affect the session while I'm running, but is a minor inconvenience when I need to re-open it later.

I can ctrl-click the session in question and tell it to "always open with" PT, and that cures each individual session, but every new session created this way yields the same results.

Sessions created the "old way," with a user made template file saved as a stationary pad do not exhibit this behavior.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
-Steve

Hi Steve!

Looks like you've stumped everyone. Are you saying that when you double click the new session it opens up soundminer and not ProTools?

Does it do this when you take a template created the "old way" and refer to it as a template within ProTools? If not, sounds like it might be a finder issue as opposed to a ProTools issue.

Maybe try this FileType program? Did you try this way as well?

Hope all is well!

To be clear... changing the file type of the .ptt file... not the session file.

Do a "Get Info" on the file and one of the setting is "Open With" there you can set the app' to open that file extension with.

This is the one that worked.

Thanks Jeff!

Sometimes it's the stupidest things. I know this stuff. Must re-engage brain. Getting older sucks.
