Although your wording seems confused, it might be that you mean that,
in the Finder, double-clicking on a switcher document doesn't start
the Switcher but provokes the message "An application can't be found
to open thid document".

The posting of the 4.3 Switcher didn't have the Bundle bit set.  If you
set this (using SetFile, or with FEdit's Show Finder Attributes menu
item), it will work again.
