Here's a fun one for you duti users out there... I'm attempting to use duti with this script to set defaults. The commands work when run locally, but when I attempt to use a script or a command in Files & Processes, they don't work. It also didn't work when added to the duti package as a postinstall script. 10.15.7 is the version of macOS; anyone seen this before? Might cdef behave differently?



#!/bin/sh



#makes outlook default mail program



/usr/local/bin/duti -s com.microsoft.outlook mailto



#makes outlook default calendar program



/usr/local/bin/duti -s com.microsoft.outlook ics all



#makes outlook default contacts program



/usr/local/bin/duti -s com.microsoft.outlook vcf all

You probably want to script these in a way where you are running them as the user and not root. Also, I haven't used duti in some years. If you can't get it to work, take a look at SwiftDefaultApps.

Thanks! Running the commands as current-user worked.
