Magic Kettle 1.0.3
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
.exeand.msifiles 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.exefiles 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. .msiinstallers are recognised on Macs with Whisky. Whisky declares.msias 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
.exefiles 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.
