Hi Folks,

I'd like to know how to get the system to recognize .ai files as  
"belonging" to Adobe Illustrator (like it did in 2.x).  Any suggestions?

(Why do I get the feeling I'm going to be buying a few 3.0-related third  
party software upgrades?)

Thanks,

Don

(Another 3.0 oddity to add to the list: instead of winning a "Hunter"  
game, the mines count went to -1 and the "clock kept on tick'n", too.   
Never had that happen in 2.x.  I sure hope that's a software bug.)

You have something like (this is from memory)
/LocalApps/Adobe_Illustrator1.03.app.
Change its name to Adobe_Illustrator.app, leaving out the numbers.

Then the program file within it will appear in the brower as
Adobe_Illustrator1.03 (or some such).  Change its name, too, to
remove the number.  

Then it will work.  (You may need to log out and in, or some other
silly magic, too.)

Change the name of Adobe_Illustrator3.0.1.app file package to  
Adobe_Illustrator.app, then open the application file package  
(Command-O)and change the name of the application from  
Adobe_Illustrator3.0.1 to Adobe_Illustrator. Things should now work as  
they did under 2.1.

Humm, Illustrator is working fine on my machine with 3.0. I can
double click on .ai files and everything. I installed 3.0 from
scratch and then reinstalled Illustrator so maybe that is how
it needs to be done.
