Magic Kettle 1.0.3: double-clicking a game's .exe opens it in Magic Kettle right after installing, even on a Mac
where another app had .exe files.

New in this version

  • Magic Kettle takes .exe and .msi files on its first launch. The first screen says to find a game and
    double-click its .exe, but on a Mac that had Whisky, CrossOver or EscApp, Finder kept opening .exe files with
    that app: macOS keeps the app a person picked before, and Magic Kettle only asked to be the default. Now the first
    launch makes Magic Kettle the default app for both, without a dialog, so the next double-click opens the game in
    Magic Kettle.
  • .msi installers are recognised on Macs with Whisky. Whisky declares .msi as a type of its own
    (com.microsoft.msi-installer); Magic Kettle now declares and takes that type too.

What to watch for

  • This happens once. If you later pick another app for .exe files in Finder (Get Info › Open with › Change All),
    Magic Kettle leaves that choice alone; Settings › General › "Open .exe files with a double-click" takes them back.
  • This version can't update itself: install 1.0.4 or later by hand once.
