I want to set the default text editor for Makefiles to something like Atom or Sublime Text to make them easier to open, and so that when I edit remote Makefiles through CyberDuck they will open in one of these editors by default. Typically, I set a default file type's default 'open' app by right clicking -> Get Info -> Open With -> Change All However, every time I try to do this for files called 'Makefile', I get the following error: > An error occurred while changing the application that opens “Makefile” > because not enough information is available. > > Do you want to open “Makefile” with “Sublime Text.app”? enter image description here Any ideas how to fix this? I am currently on OS X El Capitan 10.11.6
