In the 'Open with' Right click options - why do some apps show several times?

Notably, Evernote and Pixelmator (both downloaded from the Mac App Store)
It's hardly the biggest problem I know - but it does look rather messy.
Anoyone know a way to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

I felt a bit wary about downloading a third-party app to do this, so I didn't use that tool. However, you did help me by using the correct terminology which allowed me to find a solution which I could do myself.
I found the solution here, as provided by Macjack:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19418151#19418151
Basically, copy and paste the code into Terminal and hit enter.
Thanks anyway QuickTime Kirk! I've thanked.

  • Can windows 7 'open with' right click open more than 1 picture at a time?

    A few times I have been given a usb drive or SD card & asked to enhance a few pictures for someone.  I usually just select one picture & then right click open wirh & select PSE.  The problem with doing this is that I can only send one picture at a time to PSE.  Is it possible to get the open with command to have more than 1 picture open?  I'm using windows 7 pro.

    Hi,
    You could try using the "Send To" option but you first have to create a shortcut.
    Use the windows explorer to navigate to
    C:\Users\"Your User Name"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
    In that folder create a new shortcut to the PSE editor.
    Then you use it by selecting the images you want to process, right click and select Send To - the editor should appear in the list.
    Hope that helps

  • New excel file cannot be opened with right click in any folder.

    Usually I create a new file (.xlsx) by right click inside any folder of windows 7 . Recently I am observing that it is not being possible to create a new file (.xlsx) by right click when I am inside a folder. Whenever I right click in order to create a
    new file no excel file icon or word file icon is found visible there though at that time other applications like access, power point and publisher file icons are visible. Only excel and word file icons are invisible. I don't know what the cause may be. I think
    I have turned off some option by mistake. Is there any solution to this problem? How can I have the opportunity again?

    Hi Nurulamin,
    Thanks for your post, however, since this isnot an exchange issue, I recommend you post this in Windows Client Forum
    also, as they should have more professional knowledge and you may get effective solution timely.
    Thanks for your understanding!

  • The "Open With" menu for PDF files has 19 apps listed to choose from.

    How do I modify the drop down menu for "Open With" to eliminate about 15 apps suggested for PDF files?

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

  • Why do some apps show as .app ?

    My friend's Applications folder (also shows up in the dock) is rife with applications which have .app after the name, whereas I have none and have never seen any on other Snow Leopard computers...or for that matter on any OSX operating system. When I transferred a small app from my computer to my friend's computer (through a USB memory stick) it showed up on my friend's computer with that .app after the name. Anyone know why or how this happens, or (more importantly) how to fix it so the .app doesn't appear?

    Just to add to the advice you've already received, you may find confusing the fact that disabling the "Show all filename extensions" option does not hide all filename extensions; some, eg, .jpg, will continue to be shown. This is intentional:
    <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8584.html>
    Irrespective of the global setting, you can hide the extension of a specific file in the Get Info panel.

  • If Firefox is not the default browser is there anyway to create an "Open with Firefox" right click option for internet icons on the desktop??

    When internet icons on the desktop are right clicked and Firefox is not the default browser, is there anyway to create an "Open with Firefox" option in the right click menu? If not you should create one in future versions.

    You will have to create a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut and add the URL to the target line if you want to open such an internet shortcut with Firefox.
    A normal internet shortcut will always open in the default browser.

  • When right clicking an image in Bridge, the "open with" option doesn't display Fireworks

    This is not the case with all the files, but some.  For example, there was a .jpg file that I couldn't open in Fireworks when right clicking and choosing "open with", although Illustrator and Photoshop were both listed.  Note: I have Cs5 Extended.  Thank you in advance.

    The "open with" menu is set in the OS, not Bridge, so open Windows Explorer and work on it from there to add what you want.

  • Why is the "open with" option always grayed out when I click on a file link?

    For example, when accessing an email account with firefox and I click on an .mp3 attachment the "open with" choice is always grayed out. This issue is not exclusive to email attachments rather all file links that I click on any site give me the same result. I am using MAC OS X Mavericks.
    How can I restore the "open with" selection?
    Thanks for your time,
    Chris Woods

    You can try rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

  • Firefox not Mac OSX Spaces friendly - There is no right click option to open a new window in the curent space.

    Other browsers (Safari and Chrome) allow you to open a new window in the current space by right clicking the dock icon and choosing 'new window'. Firefox does not have this option in the right click. You must go to the other space that already has firefox open, create a new window there, and then drag it to the desired space. Please add the ability to launch a new window in the current space from the dock icon right click menu.

    I have gone to the link that you supplied . In the task manager-- ending the entry for Firefox.exec did not resolve the problem.
    I located my profile in the start menu In the run tab And entered %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\as instructed.
    I received a cannot delete parent file is corrupted or unreadable. I then ran the Chkdsk (check disk )and tried the process again with no improvement . I have uninstalled Firefox, and redownloaded It. Still no improvement. I want my Firefox WHAAAAAAA

  • How do I clean out the "Open With" dialog box when I right click an image?f

    Hi,
    When I right-click and image to open it in a program I get a long list of programs to choose from. Many are duplicated or the same program but different version #s like Preview. How do I clean out the dupes and ones I don't want and keep the ones I do?
    How would I add CS3's Adobe Camera Raw to the list?

    Do a search for details on cleaning up the "open with" dialog, it's been discussed before but I'm sorry I can't remember what the fixes are.
    I have duplicate choices too but have never tried to clean them up.

  • Why my Firefox v6.02 browser always open *.csv (comma delimited) file in another tab rather than downloading a file? I do not have right click option to save this file.

    My Firefox v6.02 browser always open *.csv (comma delimited) file in another tab rather than downloading a file? I do not have right click option to save this file. My OP is windows XP sp2.

    Hi mha007,
    Go to this site "http://www.nseindia.com/content/indices/ind_histvalues.htm"
    Select any Index type and from dates select just one day or any number of days. Click "Get Details" button. This will open tabular data on loaded page (with link CSV file link at bottom).
    When I click this link, it opens CSV file in new tab (in Firefox browser) and does not open download window (just as in case of other file formats like *.zip, *.rar or *.xls).
    Right-click of link does not give "save as" or "save file" option.
    Firefox is my preferred and default browser.
    ========
    surprisingly, When I do same thing in IE6 browser, data-table page shows 2 options below table, i.e. (1) download file (2) open file.

  • I bought pages on the app store and have math type installed. However I am do not have the option to "Insert Mathtype Equations" either with right click or the drop down menus at the top of the screen.

    I bought pages on the app store and have math type installed. However I am do not have the option to "Insert > Mathtype Equations" either with right click or the drop down menus at the top of the screen. I also have OS Lion installed if this makes any difference. Please help!

    I assume but I can't check that MathType rely on the standard iWork applications location which isn't the one used by the mac App Store.
    Create a subfolder named iWork '09 in the Applications folder.
    Select the iwork applications which you own then drag them into the iWork '09 folder.
    You will be asked to type your password. Don't worry, it's normal.
    It's required because the System must store the infos describing the new location so that, if a new revision is delivered, mac App Store will be able to find the apps where they are.
    When this will be done, try to re-install MathType.
    I guess that this time it will behave flawlessly.

  • Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?

    Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?

    If by "contextual menu" you mean Right Clicking, then Yes, I now can highlight text (say a name in Address Book), right click it, and Spotlight searches for it.
    There is a little triangle next to the word Searching in Sys Pref; make sure it's pointing down and opens the sub-choices below it, i.e. Look up in Dictionary, Search with Google, and Spotlight.
    Let me know if this doesn't do it for you.
    Good luck.

  • How do i get the "open with" option back for pdfs after accidentally hitting the save option which now automatically saves any pdf?

    Normally when I click on a pdf I would get an option to "Open With" or Save. I usually just opened pdfs first. I accidentally clicked on the Save option in this dialog box and now when I click on any pdf it automatically asks me where I want to save it. I want to get the "open With" option back, because I don't necessarily want to save a copy of every pdf.

    Mountain Lion was released in 2012, so I suppose there might be advice in old threads or on the Apple forums if you don't get a response here right away.
