Mac OS X Duplicate items in context menu

June 14, 2013 by Igor Drobot Leave a Comment

Duplicates

After some time of work with my MacBook Pro a saw a strange behavior with the contextual menu “open with”.
Suddenly I had Evernote twice and fourfold and now seven times.

I tried to figure this strange behavior out and found that each copy comes after application update. For example after Opera update this contextual menu will appear one time more. So I think the behavior of a app update is like a new installation. There is a kind of check missing which should check the allready installed path.

This is the solution to fix all entrys in context menu

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
