Re: Answer File Command

Also, you'll notice that when you try to open an unknown file type in OS X and switch the application-chooser popup from "Recommended Applications" to "All Applications", the grayed-out applications remain grayed out... *except* for their icons. Happens every time here on 10.2.1.

So the bugginess is clearly an OS thing.

However, I have noticed several times that OS X doesn't always
"recognize" files right away. There have been times when a file was
dimmed in the file dialog that shouldn't be. These are almost always new
files, just downloaded or just created. Sometimes moving the file to the
desktop and back will fix it, sometimes it takes hours before the Finder
"sees" it as the right file type.
