Too Many MacVims Installed
I have MacVim installed
by Homebrew,
but MacVim still pops up sometimes to suggest an update,
and brew
updates it as well.
After a year or 2 of this,
my "Open with…" menu
was littered with about 7 different versions
of MacVim dating back to version 7.4.
I figured I’d try to uninstall it,
brew uninstall macvim
,
and see how many version I’m left.
The simple uninstall
confirmed that quite a few versions
of MacVim were installed,
and suggested the --force
option
to remove them all, so I did.
That left mvim
no longer working in the shell,
and fortunately,
all the MacVims had disappeared
from the "Open with…" menu as well.
Reinstalling it with brew install macvim
leaves me nicely with only one MacVim now.
I’ll have to see if they multiply again,
but now I’ll have this note to myself
on how to fix it.
