Emacs server not detected in Mac OS High Sierra

Emacs server not detected in Mac OS High Sierra

[Artemio González López]

Hi all,

When a .tex file is opened in Emacs 25.3.1 under the newly released macOS 10.13 High Sierra by double-clicking on it it always launches a second instance of Emacs, even if a server process is already running (launched by a “(server-start)” line at the beginning of my .emacs file). Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

For gnome/unity/etc I wrote something for my students
https://bitbucket.org/rustom/vit-projects/wiki/emacsasdefault

But whats the equivalent of a ".desktop file" under macOS, I have no idea

Note 1.
Some typos need to be corrected

[Seems to be some org-mode to md export bug]

Note 2 Modern emacsen seem to come with a systemd service file for this
Maybe also made working for MacOS??

No bug

I had a newline missing that disappeared (or misappeared) due to the long
MimeType line
