I have both FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Pro Advanced installed. Because the available licenses for the Advanced product are limited, I shouldn't use it unless necessary. But when neither application is running, my Mac will currently open any "fmp7://" URLs in FileMaker Pro Advanced. How do I change this so that FileMaker Pro is opened instead?

(There's no obvious configuration option for this in either application's Preferences window.)

Download and install the excellent RCDefaultApp Preference Pane, which — amongst other things — lets you declare the default handler for fmp7:// URLs.

That pref pane looks pretty old. Any info / experience on whether it works under OS X 10.6, 10.7, 10.8? – gosmond Feb 21 at 8:59
@gosmond seems to work fine for me under OS X 10.8.2! – Asmus Feb 21 at 17:31
