How to add pdf.js option to 'Open With' dialog for PDF files?

I've set the action for opening PDF files to 'Always Ask'. Then I can save the file or open it with any other pdf viewer. But the 'open with' option in that dialog box lists only the external pdf viewers. An option in that dialog box to view the file within firefox using pdf.js would be helpful.

Thanks but I'm aware of that. What I need is to keep the option as 'Always Ask' without changing it to 'Preview in Firefox'. And then when I click on a pdf link, it would open up the dialog box asking what to do. It has several options such as 'Open With' and 'Save File'. What I want is to have 'Preview in Firefox' as an option in that dialog box. So then I can choose some files to open in Firefox, some to download and some to open in external readers. I would choose the action for each file. Is that possible?

I want to permanently shorten the list down to only a few apps to select from.

Hi Experts,
My requirement is that, there will be a link in my BSP page "Link to BI Report" and when the user will click this link, the File open/save Dialog box will appear for a BI Report file that will be in a fixed path in the Application Server. I have checked with <a href="/usr/sap/tmp/bi_report.csv"> tag but it is not working. The BI report file will be currently in the CSV format. Any ideas about how to achieve this? Thanks in advance.

How do I change the default "open with" application for certain files?? I've tried EVERYTHING!!

Hi guys!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone help me!!! I have been trying for ages to change this!! It is SO frustrating!! I recently bought a new MacBook Pro 13" after my old one (2009) got stolen. Went from Snow Leopard to 10.8.2, restored all my apps and files etc (thanks goodness I backed up).
NOW I have a problem! All my .xls and .doc files open up with Pages and Numbers, and not OpenOffice. NO MATTER WHAT I DO!!!
The basic "change open with" "always use this application" story doesn't work. It always reverts back to Pages or Numbers. I also tried a Terminal Command I found on this forum from way back in 2010. But that doesn't work either. I also tried a .pst deletion but I don't have a .com.apple.launches.pst file!
PLEASE GUYS. PLEASE! SOMEONE HELP ME HERE!!!!!!!!!! It's driving me nuts!!!!! LIKE NUTS!!!!!!!

Here is what I would do:
Update OpenOffice to the latest Mac OS X version for improved compatibiity with Mountain Lion.
Boot into Safe Mode to clear caches, verify/repair permissions, and rebuild font database, etc.
Reboot, holding down the shift key until you see a progress bar on the grey boot screen.
At the login prompt, and before you click the right arrow button to login, press and hold shift again.
Reboot normally.
Now follow sig's advice, and specify OpenOffice as the can opener for Word and Excel files.
If OpenOffice installs into a /Applications folder as individual writer, and sheet applications, then use these names respectively for Word and Excel files.
LibreOffice (what I use) only offers the LibreOffice application choice.

Can you set a second "Open with:" application for a file?

Hi all,
I was wondering if something like this exists for OS X Lion or greater: you can set a default application to open a type of file, say Safari for all .html files, but can you set a second default application for a file?
I usually open files using command + o or command + down arrow from the Finder and I've often thought how good it would be to hit an alternate keyboard shortcut to open the selected file in a secondary default application.
For example, if I'm making a web page and have the .html selected in the finder I can hit command + o (or command + down arrow) to open it in Safari and if the file isn't open in my editor and is selected in the Finder I can hit, say command + option + o (or command + option + down arrow) to open the .html file in my editor.
Does anyone know if this can be achieved in OS X Lion or greater?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi all,
If anyone's interested in a partial solution, I've rigged up the following.
I ended up using an Automator action coupled with Spark to capture a keyboard key combination. Spark: http://www.shadowlab.org/Software/spark
I've used Spark before with good results, and although it's from 2008 it still works on Lion.
I created an Automator action that does two things:
gets the selected Finder items
opens finder items in the text editor I'm using.
I then saved the workflow as an application so that Spark could run it.
I've set up a keyboard shortcut that Spark picks up and calls my Automator workflow. It all seems to work nicely.
So, I've created a specific "open selected file with <text editor>" keyboard shortcut that should do for the time being.

Program not showing in open with context for HTML files

I have a windows 8.1 64 Pro PC with a program called 1stPage.exe installed.
When I right click a .txt file I get 'Edit with 1st Page' in the context menu and it also shows in the open
with menu.
However HTML files do not show these options. I have checked the registry and it would appear that the program
is set up on the open with menu exactly the same for both file types.
So it would appear that something is blocking 1stPage from showing against HTML files but I can't figure out
what I need to change.

OK we have further developments
I tried installing this program on a Windows 7 32bit machine and I get exactly the same issue.
I tried it with both IE and chrome as default browsers and I tried changing default html editor.
I therefore suspect this when this program installs it is not setting all the registry entries windows 7/8
require.
I know it's an old program but I have been using it for years and see no reason to change.
So I need help in understanding what I need to do to get windows 7/8 to display the context menu entry correctly

How can I open Elements 8 with "Open with dialog" in Windows XP?

When I try to open a photo from My Pictures using the Open with dialog (when I click on Register) I get a message"Specified file is missing! No changes were made" Photoshop Elements 8 is installed and working. For some reason Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 no longer appears on the list of programs in the Windows Open With dialog. How can I add Adobe Elements 8 to the Open With dialog? There are programs listed that I do not use. Is there a way to delete or add programs to the Open With dialog?

I couldn't get this to work for some reason. I solved the problem by
downloading
OpenWithAdd_1.2.zip. This adds the program to the "Open with dialog"
The procedure is:
Download OpenWithAdd.zip and run it. Locate the application that you
want to add to the Open With dialog.
Type the command-line parameter (if the application requires one) in the
appropriate text field. And optionally, you can give a personalized name
for the application which you're trying to add to Open With. This text
will appear in the Open With dialog, describing the application.
Once done, click Register.
Your application is now added to the list.

Temporarily changing the "open with" app for a batch of files

I've written a number of scripts which have been saved as application bundles. One of the resource folders (named "Image Files") contains all the image files used in the script -- but the image files may have a variety of default applications for opening.
I'm working on a separate script to facilitate editing the application bundles if and as necessary, and editing the image files is part of that. I need the option of opening the image files with an application other than the file's default application -- for example, I might want to open the image files with Photoshop.
In my editing script I can easily enough get a list of the image files. But to open them with, say, Photoshop, I find that I have to use a Photoshop tell block and the full path to each file as it is called (otherwise it opens with its default application). If there are hundreds of image files, that's a lot of work!
I'm seeking a "global" command that will tell all files in folder "Image Files" to open with app "Photoshop" (just in this script, as I don't want to change the defaults).
Possible?

I probably didn't explain my requirements thoroughly
Your suggestion:
"You mean like:
tell application "Finder"
open every file of folder "Macintosh HD:path:to:Image Files" using "Macintosh HD:Applications:PhotoShop.app"
end tell"
isn't quite it.
(For one thing, that has the somewhat alarming result of opening all the image files in the folder simultaneously, and there may be hundreds.)
In plain English, what I had in mind was more like:
"Set the 'open with' application of every file in folder 'Macintosh HD:path:to:Image Files' to Adobe Photoshop.app"
such that, if I were to have those files in a list, and were to open them one at a time, they'd open with Photoshop without further instruction -- this without affecting the default applications (or 'open with' applications) of the files from which those files were duplicated (assuming that there are such 'original' files).
Since this still may be unclear, here's another explanation:
• Say I have ten .jpg files on the desktop, all set to 'open with' Preview.
• I duplicate those ten files to the Image Files folder of the application bundle.
• If I open any one of those files at the desktop, I want it to open in Preview.
• But if I open any one of those files in the Image Files folder, I want it to open in Photoshop. (The
files in the Image Files folder could each have its 'open with' application reset manually, but
with hundreds of files I'd much prefer AS to do that. As far as I can tell, doing that -- manually
or with AS -- would result in different 'open with' settings for a file on the desktop and the
corresponding file in the Image Files folder, which is basically what I'm after.
Can I get AS to do this?

Could some one give help and let me know where I can probably find the settings option that allows me to change and switch to previous situation where it was possible to decide time to time how to proceed either opening the file or saving it ??

How to I get rid of an "Open With..." option that doesn't exist?

I've tried to find out how to remove an element of the "Open With..." options but don't seem to be getting much traction. I have an old application listed in the "Open With..." pull down menu that doesn't exist anymore, but when I select the file, using command-i, to change which application opens the file, it works for that file. I want to change association using the "Change All" button, but when I do that, the "dead" application becomes the default application again and I'm back to square one. Is this fixable? How do I get rid of the useless option? Will I have do do this for each file?

your link gave me a good starting place...
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -R -all -domain local -domain system -domain user
this seemed to do the trick... I would have never have solved this without your suggestion.
thanks.

How to add Photoshop CC 2014 to the "Open With" dialog?

Hi!
As mentioned in my previous dialog. THe new Photoshop CC 2014 does not appear as programm in my Open With dialog, so I tried these steps:
Double click on a NEF or PSD file
Select a program from a list of installed programs
Checked again "Other programs": No Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 at all
Click on "Browse"
Select "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Photoshop.exe"
But it is NOT added to the Other Porgrams list, so I'm still not able to open it with Adobe Photoshop CC 2014
Sorry, but that is really annoying now.
Has anybody any idea how I can solve this issue?
I trust the volunteering users here more than Adobe itself. So far I've no good impression since the CC story. Before CC I was never forced to use this forum. Also I got only working solutions by other user almost never by Adobe itself. :-(
Thanks!

I found at least a workaround in Bridge:
Open Bridge
Edit -> Preferences -> File associations
Select the file type you need
Click on "Photoshop"
Select "Search"
Select "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Photoshop.exe"
Repeat the steps beginning with 3. for each file type you need
But this only for Bridge itself. I'm still not able to open my file in File Explore. Also I've to do these steps for each file type manually.
But at least it's working now in Bridge, but that is only a workaround, as I changed only some file associations manually. That must not be the solution.
Any idea how to fix this issue?
