Cannot attach Mac OS X file packages
Hello,
I experienced problems when trying to attach a Mac OS X file package to a Zotero bib entry: The package is not detected as such but instead it is opened as a directory and the content of the package is shown (which I then could choose as file attachment). This is not the habit I would expect, because I cannot open these files with the corresponding application.
In this case the file packages are my outlines from OmniOutliner.
Is there any workaround for this issue or could it be fixed?
Thanks a lot,
Letterus

But I can test this further and report back.
I don't know which API you use for opening files, but the shell command "open" will always open a file or directory in the proper way from the perspective of OS X. So there is a way to open files or directories in a proper way but I don't know if it is accessible to your code.
