Since I upgraded to panther, some programs no longer open file types correctly (ie vlc for avi's).
I've tried using the finder option to open a file with, and then specify always open with, but it seems to just work on a file by file basis.
What I'd like to do is say that all avi's be opened by VLC etc.
Thanks,
J.

Sweet, many thanks.
Not quite the most logical place to put it, but I'm sorted now.
Cheers Gorickey.

How about changing the default open application? To skip the right click selection like a global setting for openning certain file types.

Um, that's exactly what that does. Unless you're asking for something different, but it doesn't sound like it...
