Description
Steps to reproduce
- install the MacVim.app (8.1.950) first
- update MacVim when update program pops. (8.1.1517)
- Now I tried to install the latest version, it is (8.2.3455)
- When I right click and open with MacVim, three version exits in the "open with" list.
I tried to uninstall them, only the latest version can be removed.
So my questions are 1) how to remove all of them, 2) How to keep the latest one only, if I update it?
Expected behaviour
keep the latest one only
