folder "open with" default applications

[snacktime]

I often use Alfred to open a folder in a specific application. When I locate the folder in Alfred, and select "open with..." the default options are just Terminal and Finder. Is there a way to edit those defaults?

Hi,

I think the best way is to create a new workflow,

insert into it a Trigger->File Action

give it a name and a file type ( in your case drag a folder to set the type to folder )

link it to an 'Open with' action, specifying the application

 

now you file action should appear on the list of actions you can do on a folder

To add a custom action, follow the File Action Triggers documentation.

 

To add more of the default actions, open Alfred’s preferences, and Features → File Search → Actions → Default Actions. Check the ones you want.

juliosecco's workflow suggestion does just what I'm looking for
