Does that mean you cannot force another app to open any file on Mac? Or is the 'sticky' association more of a convenience? I often clone copies and then change file extensions to force another program to open it. It's very handy for quick changes of a file as 'text', looking at seemingly broken files that arrived via email, grabbing internal content for another purpose, or opening a different kind of file into a sound editor or graphics editor. Great for source material. And I added "Notepad" to my context menu to peek at any file. Just in case. :) Dennis _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
