Hi Yvonne,
Please accept my apologies. I did not read your post correctly and posted a screenshot.
The screenshot showed
a text document, for example test.txt in first pane,
the action "open with" in second pane
and the application "Textedit" in third Pane.
By default text.txt was set to open with Smultron but i opened it with "Textedit". It all works fine. I had displayed the screenshot thinking that in your case "open test with" was displayed instead of "open with". Now, as much I understand frim reading your post is that the problem with you is about hearing "open test with" instead of hearing "open with". I dont know what software you are hearing with because the inbuilt "Voice Over Utility" does not speak much or at least I can't get it to speak.

Umm, ok, let me see if I can explain this. If you're using voiceover, right next to the execute button, there's a sentence describing the command you're about to run. For example, "open test.txt"

I have no idea how this appears, visually, but because of this, even though I can't actually see the panes with VoiceOver, I can use Quicksilver pretty easily. The problem is that, in the case of a file or folder in the 3rd pane, the sentence is not complete. Instead of saying, "open test with textedit", for example, all it says is "open test with". In other words, the application textedit in the 3rd pane is there, clearly, since the command runs successfully, but the description of the command can't confirm this.

I have no idea if this makes any more sense than my first explanation. If it doesn't, I'm going to have to find someone who can describe the area of the interface I'm talking about.
