SLopen Description

Change the default “Opens with” setting for each document type. Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard no longer respects the creator code of document files. When double clicked, such files now open using the default application for the file’s type and not the creating application. In other words, the “when I double click a document in Snow Leopard, I want it to open under not ” problem. For example, you want your Photoshop-created PNG files opened by Photoshop, not by Preview.The solution is to change the “Opens with” default setting for all document files to that of the creating application. You can do this by hand but if you have a lot of documents, this can get tedious. SLopen can automate the process for you. Note that this is really a work-around and not a true solution to the problem but for most people, this work-around will probably be sufficient.This problem can only be properly solved by storing the preferred application’s bundle identifier as metadata with the document. Until that solution is implemented by Apple, changing the “Opens with” setting is the best known work-around for the problem.
