weird file obsolete behaviour

Hello,

I have got a problem that every time I click on a EIP file in OSX Finder, the file instantly changed the extension to EIP.obsolete, when I renamed it back and it will turn again immediately. And the affected file will appear as a "?" in C1P.
Urgently need help. Thanks.

  I am not familiar with the 'obsolete action' of OS X Finder. In a trial-and-error approach you could do the following:
  
  - Get Info of that file and look at the associated application (Open With label)
  - Create a new EIP file in both CO6 and CO7 (copy some IIQ files to a test folder) and on the you migrate from 6 to 7; access each of the file with Finder and see what happens
  - remove each of the versions of CO, and install them again (one step at a time) and look what happens from the Finder regarding EIP.
  
  It looks like an application that has used the EIP extension is now removed from OS X and the Finder is 'obsoleting' the files with that extension.

  Hello Paul,
  
  Thanks for reply. Your instruction just reminded me of the file association and "open with" problem that I used to have.
  So I applied this script in the terminal

  I don't know how it work but the problem was fixed, no more .obsolete for now.
  
  great.

  umm.....the problem coming back when I create a new session in C1P7 with the same set of EIP that was edited C1P6.
  It turns all EIP to EIP.obsolete again, but it doesn't occur in finder click anymore. Anyway, I need to abandon 7 temporary.
  
  *Update : Problem can also be fixed after uninstall 7. May I get my c1p6 license back ??

  Whether or not you revert to CO6 now, you may conclude that your OS X installation needs a rework.
  
  No, you do not like that. Neither do I.
  
  But your reward is that you can start using CO7 (in conjunction with CO6 if you like) and enjoy the greatness of the new version.
  In the long run that sounds better to me than reverting to CO6.
