Setting default "Open With" for files

Trying the set Photoshop CC 2014 as the default program for all PSD files.  When I select Photoshop CC 2014 as the default and select change all, the default reverts back to the old Photoshop CS6 - which is still installed.  Any ideas?

I vaguely remember something about this, I can't find the particulars I posted here, only a reference on my site...
Then, I wonder if they did something like adobe did, a special folder of filetype lists & they had a background App running that would over ride opening graphic files in other apps.

  • Changing default open with for file type for all users

    hello
    can I change the default app to open a specific file type for all users and not juist for my user?
    i am admin for my mac mini.
    tnx
    gil

    What applications are offered for open with depends on the application itself informing the system it can open certain files, plus your own custom selections for opening files. Evidently the alternate app you want to use does not claim to be able to open the files you are assigning it. If you have a plist editor and know how to use it you could edit the info.plist file inside the application itself to add the file type you want to the application's declaration of file types it will open. Then restart so the system will read that declaration. I think it would be far easier to simply launch the application and then drop a file you want it to open onto its icon in the Dock.

  • How to set a default open with, for all files

    I would simply like to make all my .avi files to open with VLC, rather than Quicktime. I have done the "change default open with", but it's only for that file.
    Any way to make all avi's open with VLC?
    Thanks!

    Right-click any .AVI file and select Get Info. Under the "Open with" section, select the app you want, and then press the "Change All" button.

  • Set Default Opening Application for a certain type of file?

    I need some help saving time! I have lots of .groovy files that my apple doesn't know how to open and i have to select a default opening application for every single file! Is there a way to do this for multiple files or for a certain file type? thanks!
    amber

    Sure. Click on a file, and then go to File-Get Info (or CMD-I) In the box that pops open, choose the app you want the .groovy files to open with, and click change all. That should do it.

  • How to Set Default Open With?

    Bridge keeps opening my .png screen shot files with Fireworks, I want them to open in Photoshop — CS4.
    The .png file icons defaults are set to open with Ps.
    Bridge> Preferences> File Type Associations don't even list .png (if that is the place to do it).
    Forum search seems to be hitting on everything but what I am typing in.
    Bridge Help doesn't understand what I am asking.

    Same issue - when I double click a "RW2" file in Bridge my Photomatix application opens the file. Nowhere in the file associations do I see Photomatix or the "RW2" file format for that matter. I reset to default association - still no joy. The only app showing in the "Open With" pull down in Bridge is "Photomatix (default)". How so I change this default to PS4?

  • Setting "Open With" for files in specific folders?

    Hello -- I cannot figure out how to have some of my .html files open in DreamWeaver (for when I'm working on my website) while having other .html files open in my web browser (for normal viewing).
    I know I can set an individual file to open with a specific application or set all files with the .html extension to always open with a specific application, but I want to be able to select a folder of files (such as the folders that contain my website files, 600+ of them) and set those to open with DW.
    Does anyone know how to make this work? Many thanks in advance!

    I think you can probably do it, at least for files that are already present in a particular folder.
    For safety, try this first on a copy of a folder that contains the files that you want to change. Make sure all the files in the folder are .html files, and that there are no subfolders.
    Click inside the folder window and type Command-A, selecting all the files. Then type Option-Command-I, opening up an "inspector" window, essentially a multiple-item Get Info. In that window, go to the "Open With" section and change the choice to DreamWeaver, Do NOT click the "Change All" button.
    I don't have DreamWeaver, but when I tried this on the above test folder I was able to change all the .html files in that folder so that they would open in Safari, while leaving the default as Firefox for all the .html files outside the folder.
    You might also be able to set up an Automator/Applescript folder-action that would automatically convert new files that are placed into a particular folder, but I don't know how to do that.

  • Can I set "open with" for files - associate file types with a 3rd party app

    I have PDF file attachments inside my OmniFocus application. When I double-tap them, they get opened in the standard Apple PDF viewer. But I have a better 3rd-party app which opens PDFs and allows me to edit them (mark them up) - I'd like the attachments to open in this app instead of the normal PDF viewer. I don't want to have to switch to the 3rd party app to open it - it's important to me that I can place comments on many, many PDFs inside of OmniFocus. So:
    1) is it possible to ask the iPad to have all PDFs to open in this 3rd party app?
    2) if not, is it possible to name the attachments some other extension (e.g., .xyz) and tell it to open all .xyz files with the 3rd-party PDF viewer?
    thanks in advance,
    Mike

    just out of curiosity: how did you see this without buying the app - is there some general way to get a trial from the App Store?
    When You view the features of the app in the app store, there are pictures of some of the different screens under the main description of the app. I swiped through the pictures and the fourth photo shows a screen - An image in the black box pointing to the image name - roots.jpg. In the window to the right - it says -Action - at the top - in the grey border. I wouldn't have known that the arrow didn't give the same functionality as it does when you open the PDF in Mail. But I was able to see the trash can, the curved arrow and the blue done button on the right. I never heard of the app until we started to posting. Unless the app specifies that there is a free trial period, there is no way that I know to try an app for free.
    The thing that I find odd is that you say the arrow is greyed out making that feature unavailable. That arrow icon on the iPad in Safari or Mail is what directs you to the options for - open in, print, email, etc features on the iPad. I assume that arrow must have some functionality somewhere in the app. Not sure why it is greyed out. But I stress, I know nothing about the features of the app or what it is designed to do.

  • How to set default "opens with"

    If I have MS office and Iwork installed, how do I set a default for the opens with. Right know if it open a word file, it automatically opens with MS office. But I would rather it open with Pages.
    Thanks for your help.

    Select a Word document in the Finder and *Get Info*. Count down to the 5th disclosure triangle - the one labeled *Open With*. Select the program you want to open the file with. You may see it in the list or you may have to select Other and find the program with the file selector. Once you've done that, click on the *Change All* button. That's it.

  • Setting default opening date for iCal calendar to be some future date?

    Is it possible to set the default date at which an iCal calendar opens to be some specified future date?
    I want to enter multiple events for a week-long program that begins on November 1, 2008, into a special iCal calendar for that program, as the dates and times for those events become known between now and then. So, each time I click on that calendar's icon, I'd like to have it open at 1 Nov 08, instead of having to step forward to that date each time I re-open the calendar.
    Any way to do this?

    christ. no answer to this?
    i just did this on a trip to boston and i /thought/ i had it fixed when i went to paris recently.
    perhaps getting a new motherboard on my MBP means i have to set my settings again to get this to work? does anyone know if this only works by setting a /combination/ of settings on iCloud and in iCal preferences...?

  • Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

    Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks
    PS I'm not a great techie so assume I don't know what you're talking about!

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • ViewKind Parameter Ignored in ProjectItem.Open if ProjectItem is Set to Open With Default External Editor

    Hi all,
    In my VS2010 extension, I have just encountered a situation which I can find no workaround for. As always, I went to Carlos Quintero's MZ-Tools first to see if I could find an answer. In this excellent article of his (http://www.mztools.com/articles/2007/mz2007027.aspx),
    he discusses how to get "the ProjectItem in the desired view using ProjectItem.Open(viewKind), which returns an EnvDTE.Window object."
    This is the behavior I have experienced until I noticed that if a user selects "Open With..." and sets a default external program to open a given item with, I can no longer programmatically open the item in the text editor (this is required
    functionality for my extension, since I am not setting the Window to visible, anyway). The screenshot below illustrates my point, even though I am working with my own custom extensions.
    In this case, calling ProjectItem.Open with every available ViewKind value will cause Program.cs to open in Notepad rather than the text editor. The Window returned from the Open call is always null in this case.
    Is there any way I can force an item to open in the text editor, regardless what its default program/viewer is? Thanks for your help,
    -Mike

    I don't think that is a bug but a limitation of the automation model.
    As workaround, you can use the following method:
    IVsUIShellOpenDocument.OpenSpecificEditor
    If you want something somewhat more palatable you can use the following method:
    VsShellUtilities.OpenDocumentWithSpecificEditor
    Editor guids are stored in the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0_Config\Editors, but since you are only interested in the text editor guid, you are lucky because there is already a constant defined Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSConstants.GUID_TextEditorFactory.
    There is also a constant defined for the logical view: Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSConstants.LOGVIEWID.TextView_guid.
    So, even if text files are set to open with Notepad, this code should open them in the text editor:
             string fullPath;
             Guid editorGuid;
             Guid logicalViewGuid;
             IVsWindowFrame windowFrame;
             fullPath = projectItem.get_FileNames(0);
             editorGuid = Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSConstants.GUID_TextEditorFactory;
             logicalViewGuid = Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSConstants.LOGVIEWID.TextView_guid;
             windowFrame = Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.VsShellUtilities.OpenDocumentWithSpecificEditor(this, fullPath, editorGuid, logicalViewGuid);
             if (windowFrame != null)
                windowFrame.Show();

  • Is it possible to set an opening date for a password protected file

    Is it possible to set an opening date for a password protected file!
    I want to lock a folder and then have it open on a perticular date not just open with a password so that i am not tempted to open it. Is it possible?

    Yes. Go to the Settings app, and select safari. There will be a section called "Autofill", and you can enable it to save your passwords and auto-fill your personal information taken from the address book. Also, iOS automatically saves all Wi-Fi passwords, so there is no need to save it manually yourself.

  • Need to find a scripts for changing default "Open with" iTunes app to Quick

    Hello all...
    I'm new to scripting but need a script really quickly...
    I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a script that will change the default "Open with" of audio files placed within a certain folder on my desktop...
    I'm making sound clips with WireTap and dumping them in a folder called WireTapExports as .mp3. I then need to play them without using iTunes (and importing them by default) but going into the "Get Info" and manualy changing the "Open With" settings for each file is taking ages...and it's very irratating...
    Is there a way I can make all audio file put in that folder automaticaly open with Quicktime instead.
    I know this is quite easy to most but I've only just started looking at Applescript (i.e. a few days ago) and but I need this to work now...
    Many thanks in advance...
    PigeonCake...

    Not what you want, but if you hold the control key while getting info it changes to summary info which then lets you change the preferred application on a batch of files in one go.

  • Group Policy For 2008 Terminal Server Users Default Open With Not Working

    I'm trying to change the default open with behavior for jpg files on my terminal server. I created a Group Policy that changed it to MS Paint to Office 2010 Picture Manager. The policy appears to apply correctly but jpg files still open in
    Paint. When a user is logged on, if they look at the properties of a jpg, it shows Photo Gallery as the program to open it but when opened, it opens in Paint.
    Has anyone seen this behavior before?

  • I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

    I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

    Hi Pusman,
    While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
    Does that helps with your query?
