  • 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.

  • How do you make console apps the default application for a file type?

    I have a console movie player, mplayer, that I like a lot. I've compiled it from source on my intel core2 macbook pro and it works fine. There is no gui, but to play movie files you open up a terminal and type the command mplayer /path/to/file. I would like mplayer to play a movie file automatically when I double click on the file, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I tried setting it in the file info dialogue, but when I go to the path of the binary I want, it is not selected. How can I set a console app as my default application for my file type?

    there is a GUI mplayer for OS X. why don't you use it instead of the command line one?
    if you insist on using the command line mplayer then the only way to do this is to put a GUI wrapper on it. this can be done with automator or apple script for example. but really, why don't you just use the GUI mplayer?

  • Free application for cleaning files on a mac

    Can someone please tell me the name of the free i application for cleaning files on a mac that is highly rated?

    So far all of the supposed "cleaning" applications I have tested are basically worthless. They either don't do half of what they claim they will do or they do dangerous things and don't even tell you they are doing them. Make suggestion is to avoid anything that claims it is going to "clean things" up for you.
    I would recommend that you use OmniDiskSweeper. It will tell you the folders and files that are using the most space on you disk drive. With that knowledge you can then decide what can be deleted or moved.

  • Mac - navigateToURL opens default application for .html files instead of browser

    On Mac I have Adobe AIR version <string>3.1.0.4880</string> and I have selected TextMate for .html file as default application. With this configuration when I call navigateToURL in my app to open browser, it opens TextMate instead of default browser.
    Following is the simple code to open URL:
    var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
    navigateToURL(urlRequest, "_blank");
    Is this known issue? Any workaround for this?
    Thanks,

    Since you've remapped what your default response to .html files are, you can't use navigateToURL() or openWithDefaultApplication().
    So it looks like you'll need to use the NativeProcess class:

  • 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.

  • How do I set a unix executable file as a default application for a file type?

    I have a bunch of files all with the same extension, abc. I compiled a program, xyz, from source (using MacPorts) to run through these files. Everything works great. The program is in /usr/local/bin/
    From a terminal window:
    /usr/local/bin/xyz ./somefile.abc
    How do I get xyz to launch .abc files from Finder by double clicking on them? If I "Get Info" for any .abc file, and go to the "Open with:" section, my program xyz is not there. If I click on "Other...", xyz is nowhere to be found and /usr/local/bin is not navigable.
    How do I get xyz in the Applications list?

    Platypus was exactly what I was looking for. To those who are interested:
    The script type I used was Perl.
    Create a new script:
    #!/usr/bin/perl
    system("/usr/local/bin/xyz '@ARGV[0]'");
    Make sure to Accept dropped items.
    I also changed the Output to "None", unchecked "Remain running after initial execution", and checked "Run in background".
    Thanks so much!

  • I foolishly downloaded FireFox 4.0 without check the requirements and now I can't get my older version back. I tried downloading an older version but after downloading I am asked to select an "application" for the file.

    I didn't check the requirements and lost my older version of Firefox. All I have is an icon that is crossed out. Attempts to download an older version have so far failed. When trying to install, I am asked for an "application" to run the file.

    There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • How to set my default application for illustrator files (windows)

    I have both illustrator CS3 and CS5 on my windows 7 machine. I want to keep both versions as CS3 is better for converting SVG files.
    Windows has CS3 as the default application when opeing .svg files. but I want to change this to CS5. I have tried changing the default program in the normal way,
         right click - open with  - choose default program...
    only CS3 is listed in the programs, so I navigate to CS5
         C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5.1\Support Files\Contents\Windows\illustrator.exe
    but when I click ok, CS5 isn't added to the program list.
    I have managed to change the default program for .ai and .eps files in this way and its workeds, but not with.svg files.
    Any ideas?

    This method still doen't work, it has the same problem as my original post.Bbut I did find a utiliy that works, here is the link in case anyone has the same problem.

  • Default application for .exe file

    Can someone please tell me what the default (parent) application is to open .exe files? I changed all in "get info" to migration asst. and now I'm lost.
    Thanks in advance for any assisstance.

    An .exe file is a Windows program. It will not run directly on a Mac. Depending on if your iMac is an Intel based model or not, you would either need to install Windows via a Boot Camp partition (which would require Leopard and an Intel Mac), or for a PowerPC Mac, your only choice is the very slow Virtual PC, which Microsoft stopped development on basically as soon as Intel based Macs were introduced by Apple.
    The only exception is if the .exe file is a self extracting .zip archive. In which case Stuffit Expander can open the contents.

  • Using Pages as default application for .doc files

    When I double-click .doc files, finder insists on using the MS Word for opening the files.
    The only trouble is that I dont have Office anymore. The trial expired (good), and I have assosiated the file in finder to "always open with pages"
    Still.. after a little while.. the old bugger is back... cant open error 10066 (or something similar).. and the assosiation to Pages is forgotten...
    This is definitivly feeding my paranoia...
    I hope I am doing something wrong...

    You should also consider uninstalling the Office trial. There should be an Office test run folder in HD > Applications. In there is an uninstaller. It may give an error message that there is nothing to uninstall if you have never run one of the Office applications. You should be able to just drag the Office folder to the Trash if this is the case.

  • Default application for media files reverts with a fresh boot

    I want my media files to open with VLC as the default application. I do the whole work-around: I select the file, I go to "Get Info," I choose "Open with: VLC" and I select "Change All" to use the application to open all files of the same type. That all works. And it works with other files of the same type.
    If I restart my computer, or if I shut it down and start it up again, Quicktime is the default again. I have been able to permanently set VLC by using "Open with"- "Other" - and then selecting "Always Open With." But I don't think this is a great solution.
    Is there any way to make "Change All" stick, even after a fresh boot?

    Rebuild the LaunchServices database by running this one-line command in the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/)—copy & paste:
    */System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*
    Then, try the Get Info->select Open with VLC, click the Change all button, and restart.

  • How do I chose helper application for media files

    I have Adobe Acrobat and (of course) iTunes.
    However, when using Safari (or any browser really) I prefer to open pdf:s in Preview and mp3:s in Quicktime. But I have no idea how to change this.
    Some mp3-links are opened directly in Safari and that's fine, but some calls upp iTunes and I don't want that. It clutters the iTunes library.
    Pdf:s are opened in some kind of Adobe-plugin which is really slow. Even in Intel. I don't want that.
    Long ago these things could be changed in the preferences of the web-browsers but not anymore. How am I supposed to do this now? How are media links redirected to other applications in OS X?

    Hi Torsig,
    Probably not what you want to hear, but they all played within Safari for me.
    Can you check this QuickTime settings?
    System Preferences -> QuickTime -> Advanced -> (MIME Settings...) -> MP3 - MPEG layer III movies and streams -> MP3 playlist (if this is not enabled, enable it)
    If you do make a change, restart Safari to pick up the change.

  • Change default application to Pages for .doc files?

    When I double-click on a .doc file, TextEdit is the application that opens the file. Is there a way to change it, so that Pages '08 is the default application for .doc files?
    Thanks!

    Select the file (in Finder)>File>Get Info, then under "Open With", select Pages and click "Change All".

  • How can I change the default application for a content type?

    Running a version of Linux, the default application for PDF files is "Use Document Viewer (default)", which appears to be /usr/bin/evince. I'd much prefer to use /usr/bin/okular; how can I change the default. This question is NOT about how to change the function that is automatically applied when I access a link, in this case "Preview in Firefox", but rather to the default application that I can select when I download a file being viewed in Firefox's previewer.

    This is real progress, a solution to the problem as posted. The command:
    xdg-mime default okularApplication_pdf.desktop application/pdf
    makes okular the default.
    However when I added okular to the choices for applications in:
    * Edit>Preferences>Applications>PDF
    the popup box that appears when I click Download on the preview page changed. The pulldown menu that appears next to "Open with" used to have 3 entries:
    # Document Viewer (default)
    # Acroread
    # Other
    Now it has only 2:
    # Okular (Default)
    # Other
    I'd like it to read
    # Okular (Default)
    # Acroread
    # Other
    How can I control the entries in this pulldown list?
    Also, how can I make the default choice in the popup box be
    * Open With <whatever> , rather than
    * Save File ?
