How do you define which program opens what?

For example, how do I tell mac to open all .php files with TextMate? I tried the open always with but it only works for that one file. The other .php files go back to another text editor. I want it for all of them.
Thanks.

this would possibly be the original application that "assigns" a particular icon to the file. you could try to copy the file (i.e. keep one safe/unmodified) and off the copy delete the extension. You will then be asked to confirm (as it's a copy you can play around with it).
Then open textmate and open the file from there and save it via textmate. This might result in a different icon.
You can always change every icon by highlighting the icon in the "get info" and pasting the icon of choice. Find a useful article:

    How do you determine which programs or processes run following a reboot?  Also when you reboot Mac tries to reopen anything running before the reboot.  Is there any way to turn off that functionality?

  • How do you define which character set gets embedded with a font embedded in the library (i.e. Korean)?

    I have project that uses a shared fonts. The fonts are all
    contained in a single swf ("fonts.swf"), are embedded in that swf's
    library and are set to export for actionscript and runtime sharing.
    The text in the project is dynamic and is loaded in from
    external XML files. The text is formatted via styles contained in a
    CSS object.
    This project needs to be localized into 20 or so different
    languages.
    Everything works great with one exception: I can’t
    figure out how to set which character set gets exported for runtime
    sharing. i.e. I want to create a fonts.swf that contains Korean
    characters, change the XML based text to Korean and have the text
    display correctly.
    I’ve tried changing the language of my OS (WinXP) and
    re-exporting but that doesn’t work correctly. I’ve also
    tried adding substitute font keys to the registry (at:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
    NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes) as outlined here:
    http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000211.php
    but the fonts I added did not show up in Flash's font menue.
    I’ve also tried the method outlined here:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16275
    to no avail.
    I know there must be a simple solution that will allow me to
    embed language specific character sets for the fonts embedded in
    the library but I have yet to discover what it is.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Jim,
    I know that it is easy to specify the language you want to
    use when setting the embed font properties for a specific text
    field but my project has hundreds of text fields and I'm setting
    the font globally by referencing the font symbols in a single swf.
    I have looked at the info you've pointed out but wasn't
    helped by it. What I'd like to be able to do is to tell Flash to
    embed a language specific character-set for the font symbols in the
    library. It currently is only embedding Latin characters even
    though I know the fonts specified contains characters for other
    languages.
    For example. I have a font symbol in the libary named
    "Font1". When I look at its properties I can see it is spcified as
    Tahoma. I know the Tahoma font on my system contains the characters
    for Korean but when I compile the swf it only contains Latin
    characters (gylphs) - this corresponds to the language of my OS (US
    English). I want to know how to tell Flash to embedd the Korean
    language charaters rather than or as well as the Latin characters
    for any given FONT SYMBOL. If I could do that, then, when I enter
    Korean text into my XML files the correct characters will be
    available to Flash. As it is now, the characters are not available
    and thus the text doesn' t display.
    Make sense?
    Many thanks,
    Mike

  • Using Windows8, how can you change which program to import photos from iphone?

    When I bought a Windows8 PC (Lenovo Yoga) and synched iphone the first time, it defautled to the Photo App on my PC.  I no longer seem to get the pop up window I used to get under Windows7 asking me if it should use the default program to select and import photos.  Now it directly opens the photo app and asks which to import.  I'm sure its there somewhere but I can't find any way to change which tool is used.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    There is only one way

  • How do you make an application open on a specific monitor?

    How do you make an application open on a specific monitor? I have two monitors, and I was able to get Firefox to open on the secondary display always by resizing it with the option or command key [I forget which one] and then quitting it. Now everytime I start it, it opens on the second monitor.
    However, when I try to do the same with QuickTime [when playing videos], it always opens on the primary display no matter what I do with it. How do I make it always open on the secondary display?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thanks for the suggestion, but no, Spaces is not what I want. I have two physical monitors, and simply want an application to always open on one monitor, not be able to switch back and forth between different desktops.

  • How can you automate the monthly opening of MM periods

    How can you automate the monthly opening of MM periods ????????????

    RMMMPERI accepts a period/year or a date.
    If you enter a date the period is derived by it.
    1. create a variant and check the attribute 'selection variable' for the parameter date. Then click the button 'Selection variables' and set the current date. Every time this variant is used the parameter DATE is filled with the current date.
    2. create a job for RMMMPERI with the variant created in the preceding step. Set it as periodic.
    If you're not using a fiscal year variant simply schedule it as monthly (to be executed the first day of the month).
    If you are using a fiscal year variant you'd have to define a calendar with only the first day of each period defined as working 
    day and use it in the periodicity restrictions.
    Another possibility:
    Write a very simple ABAP which run daily to check if the period has changed and submit RMMMPERI.

  • How do you tell which computer you origionally sync the ipod touch with?

    I went to do the 2.0 update for ipod touch but it says make sure you have the ipod connected with the computer you sync with. I sync with both my mac and laptop but I think they mean the origional one you started with. How do you tell which one?

    Make it the one. You have the power!
    What they want is to make sure you are not doing this somewhere that you may lose the ability to connect the iPod (work, friend's house, internet cafe, library) because there is a file that will be downloaded to the computer, and if you need to restore at some point, iTunes will need that file.

    I am a week old newbie to ML.  Haven't fully explored Launch Pad yet.  Thanks for the heads up!
    One thing about Hazel that I love is that it runs in the background.  Any file that I trash a window pops up showing all the straggler files w/select options for each straggler file to keep or trash. 
    Before I got Hazel, I noticed when I deleted an app after using it, the preference (plist) files have not been deleted when I manually checked.  This also includes the apps that install through "packages." 

  • How do you uninstall a program from mountain lion osx

    Hi first time on mac forum
    my question is being new to imacs how do you uninstal a program from an imac running osx mountain lion. And of course get rid of the icon for that program from launchpad
    thanks

    What app do you want to uninstall? If it's an app that is provided by the installation of OS X, e.g. Safari, Reminders, Notes, Mail, etc. - there are many others - they shouldn't be uninstalled.
    If it is an app that was downloaded from the Mac App Store, in Launchpad click and hold its icon until it jiggles. Click on the 'x' in the corner to delete it.
    If it's an app that was installed using an installer program it is always best to see if an uninstaller is available from the developer of the app (there is often an uninstaller bundled in with the installer package).
    Other third party apps that are simply drag-installed into the Applications folder - like Skype, for example - can be just dragged to the Trash and will be deleted when the Trash is emptied.

  • HT4914 How can you tell which songs are downloaded from the cloud on an ipad

    How can you tell which songs are downloaded on the iPad from the cloud?

    I know ipad albums are more like tagging photos rather than putting them in folders. I just have a nagging feeling I missed some pics and I have too many to try to go figure out one by one. I don't look at my photos from the camera roll, only from albums I tagged just because I imported photos from different sources and the dates and order is really messed up. I just want to know that I am viewing all the photos from like this vacation or that event and there's none I missed that are only in the camera roll.
