I believe if you do VO shift M whilepointed at a file and go to get file info, you can set the default program to open that type of file from there. hth T.J. On Aug 6, 2012, at 4:18 AM, Danny Noonan <da...@familynoonan.net> wrote:
I've worked out the difference between apps I can copy out of the archive and paste in applications or utilities and the more complex apps with there own more windows like installers but I've come across a few things I'm ignorant of in regard to uninstalation and the like. When I use open with for media files, I have vlc show up 3 times. 2 versions of the newest and 1 previous version. The previous version is in the trash but is still showing up in open with. How can I get rid of the duplication and older version and I guess, is there a method of uninstalation of basic apps like this and or the more complex apps? Also, I here that you can move apps to different folders etc but that since lion this isn't a good idea and esp now that the app store has come along. What if any of this is true or relevant? I've looked but can't find where to set default actions for file types. Where do I set default programs to play certain file types and, please tell me there is a way I can stop iTunes from playing every media file I download automatically. Thanks for any help and more than happy to take answers off list.
