Hey everybody, how do I open a .ini file on my mac?
when I click on it, it just says that there is no default application specified to open the document.
What should I do?
Thanks!
You can edit them with a text editor like TextEdit, but why would you want to? They’re Windows files and have no function on a Mac.
*.ini file is just a settings file. It’s a text based document and can be opened up in any text editor. *.ini files can also be CREATED from a text editor.
*.ini files are not applications nor were they ever (see here) they are however USED by applications (see note above) to store local information, the OS X equivalent would be a plist or preference list.
