Re: [bug #4459] gopen wrongly using -a switch

I was actually trying to correct this as well.   When -[NSWorkspace
openFile:withApplication:] is called using a file type which the specified app
doesn't recognize, the application refuses to load the file.

For example, I tried opening a .jpg with Ink, whose registered types are text,
rtf, and rtfd.  The same test on both MOSX and OPENSTEP actually opened the
.jpg file and displayed junk in the text view. 

Is this a bug in NSWorkspace?
