Hello Ladour,

even though your description is a little bit confusing, I'm trying to help with some more information.

A similar situation happened to me after I received a MIDI file from a collaborator who works with LP7 while I am working with LP9.

As we all know, when upgrading Logic, the older versions remain in the Applications folder. In my Applications folder, I have versions of LP7, LP8, LP9.0.2 and the current one. Before my collaborator sent his MIDI files, I could just click on .mid files and they would open in LP9. However, since I received his files, all my .mid files insist on being opened by LP7 and then crash.

There is something not congruent between Logic and the Mac operating system regarding this problem. Because: I can visually change the default application to open those .mid files with LP9 in the information window (⌘i), but it reverts right back to LP7 when I close the window or click on "Change all ...". You still might want to give this a try though, if you are on Logic X, choose that as your default.

The Property List Editor.app was not a solution either, and BatCHmod did not help as well.

The only way I get around it for now in LP9 is dragging the .mid file straight into the Arrange Window.

Good luck!
