Getting texspark to open your .tex and .bib files on double-click used to mean digging through Finder’s Get Info panel — especially if another TeX app had already claimed the extension. Now it’s one button.
- Set as default from Preferences. Preferences → Compile → File associations has a Set as Default button that makes texspark the editor for
.tex,.ltx,.latex,.sty,.cls,.bib, and.bstin one go. - Shows the current state. The panel tells you whether texspark is already the default, reading the extension’s real handler — so it’s accurate even when another app owns
.tex. - Nothing sneaky. texspark never seizes an association silently; macOS asks you to confirm the change, and it only happens when you click the button.
