from AppleVis Podcast · host AppleVis Podcast

In this episode, Alex Hall shows us how to change the default app for opening a certain type of file on macOS.This may be useful if, for example, you'd rather RTF documents opened with Pages instead of TextEdit by default. To make this change:In Finder, navigate to and select a file of the type you want opened with a different app, and choose File > Get info (or press Command-I.)Press VO-Space to expand the "Open with" disclosure triangle if it isn't expanded already, and choose the app you want to open the file with from the popup menu. If the app you want is not in the menu, you can choose "Other" and manually locate the app; note that your results will vary depending on that app's compatibility with the given filetype.Click the "Change all" button to open all files of this type with the app you chose, then click Continue to confirm the change.
