Open With your Favorite App

October 27, 2007

 

 

FolderGlance has a really helpful often overlooked feature that I thought I’d mention here. Its main party piece is the way you can “Glance” inside folders and other packages such as applications. The often overlooked feature is that if you right-click on documents and other such files, FolderGlance presents you with an extended “Open With…” Menu.

The standard OSX “Open With…” menu shows apps that are officially registered to open the selected file type. FolderGlance lets you populate its menu with any app you choose; you simply designate an “Open With…” folder and then for each of your favorite apps, you make an alias and then drop it there.
