According to their documentation they indeed don't have this rule, but IMHO it should be one of the rules. I consider this a bug. Moreover I noticed that their version comparison is pretty lame, they think 1.0RC2 is newer than 1.0.3. You can refer to my report rdar://problem/5152537. In the future we will always include the copy in Applications in the Open With menu. Perhaps we should also override Launch Service's choice of default app if we find a better candidiate.
