Safari webarchive to OW ditto ?
 
I have a bunch of webarchives saved in Safari that I would
rather have open in OmniWeb ... Of course I could just
open said in OW by way of a contextmenu option etc. but
hey I like double-clicking stuff & find the OW webarchive
icon nice too :).

Not so long ago in a situation like this you could simply change
the Creator/File type and that was it but since neither use
these, it doesn't work. After investigating a bit it seems that
the key difference (1) between Safari and OW webarchives is
that the latter is saved with a resourcefork, which I suppose
(among other things) "instructs" the OS to launch OW instead
of Safari ?
My initial thought was, right, I have to somehow copy this
(standard ?) resourcefork and attach it to the Safari
webarchives, but this approach seems a tiny bit time
consuming and besides, I'm not sure I'd know how to actually
do that ...

Anyway to make a long story short, does anyone know of a
way to convert a Safari webarchive to an OmniWeb ditto ?


(1): one other thing I noticed with the OW variety of
Webarchives is that the kMDItemKeywords metadata-field is
automatically populated, unlike the Safari ones

Can't you do a get info on a Safari Webarchive (CMD+I in the Finder) change the Application to open the file to OmniWeb and then click the button "Change all..." to make OmniWeb open all Safari Webarchives?

Works for me.

Geez. I guess I'm not immune this sort of the answer-is-right-in-front-of-you-scenario :)
