multiple entries in Mac OS X contextual menu
Having trouble installing Oxygen? Got a bug to report? Post it all here.
multiple entries in Mac OS X contextual menu
I use Oxygen 5.1 on Mac OS X 10.3.7. I have gone through a number of updates of both Oxygen and Mac OS X. For some reason, when I call up the contextual menu for a document which Oxygen can handle, under "open with" I see four entries for Oxygen. Is this a well-known phenomenon? How can I get rid of the superfluous entries?

I haven't seen this with oXygen, but I have the exact same problem with Adobe Acrobat. In that case I think the Adobe installer program may be guilty. I don't think I've ever seen this with a program that you install by moving it into the Applications folder.
I don't know what the fix is to get rid of the extra entries, unfortunately.

You can try to unregister the applications. Finder will register them again as you browse the directory that contains the application.
From a terminal give the following commands:
# To re-register the extensions, use:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user -dump
Then restart your computer.
