Great to see this, thanks for sharing! Do you have plans to make it available in nixpkgs and potentially as a home-manager or nix-darwin module? Then I could add it to my config and have everything set up automatically.
I don't use nixpkgs personally but would love to give it a shot, check the repo in a day or two to give me some time to learn to ropes! I'll shoot you an email if I need any help :)
Shell dependencies for install?
Got:
bash-3.2# just package && mv dist/infat* /usr/local/bin/infat # Wildcard because output name includes platform
bash: just: command not found
just is a great command runner[1], not a shell script. Looks like it is needed if you build from source or install from Github releases. Alternatively, use `brew install philocalyst/tap/infat`(haven't done it myself but I bet it has just as a dependency anyway)

No dependencies for install, just is the command runner I use to keep things organized, it's a replacement for make(1). If it hurts to download just, you can build using SPM:
However, does anyone know a way to set all text-like documents to open with a single editor (for example Zed) on Mac? Even text files without any extensions?
It wouldn't be possible with the current interface, but I have a feeling it's possible. I'm thinking it's part of a new configuration option "type" that allows you to define openers for categories of files (text,video,etc.)
That's great, I've struggled with this problem a lot. To double-check, this essentially allows you to specify a default app that is being opened when you click on a file via Finder or via terminal's `open` program, correct? I haven't seen this exact clarification in README
Running into this error - "Error: Failed to set default application: The file couldn’t be opened." This seems to be happening for extensions that I haven't opened yet (md, json, mailto, etc.) For a new laptop, this might not be available yet. Once I `touch` a file with those extensions, the config works!. FYI, I am using a config.toml file btw.
Okay, confusing -- just tried to replicate on my machine and couldn't get that error. When you say touch, you mean creating a file with that extension, or any interaction period?
Could you please try to replicate with verbosity enabled (-v) and email me the output or file an issue at the repo with the results and full summary? It's helpful for tracking. Sorry this isn't a quick fix :(
Oh this is very exciting! I do have a request, though—I want to list all file extensions an application can open, specifically so I can use this to ensure xcode isn't the default for anything but xcode-specific files.
Have an idea of how I would do this already, give me until the end of the week. To be clear, an interface like this?
Infat list [--identifier] [--application]
Where identifier and application are mutually exclusive, and application lists the openers it is capable of opening by default? Merging the application flag for simplicities sake, so either returns a list with both their possibilities *and* the assigned apps.

swift build -c release

This is amazing! I set a few extensions manually.

I can get it out in a week ;)
That would be amazing honestly!

Yep! Just added a clarification in the README.

Thoughts?
Love it! Seems like it'd be easy to filter out extensions I wanna keep and switch them all to emacs or whatever.
Pretty slick honestly, swapping machines on Mac is usually a pain for me so this feels like a lifesaver.
