"Open With" menu

[derekvan]

Hi,

 

When I search for and select PDF files within Alfred, I nearly always want to open them with the program "Skim." However, I don't set this at the OS level because when I just double click a PDF file (say, on the desktop), I'd rather have it open in Preview. So, is there a way to A) set PDF files to always open in a particular program via Alfred?  or reorder the "Open With" results list by frequency of use rather than alphabetical? I know it's easy enough to simply type "sk" in the Open With list to filter to Skim, but easier yet to simply press "enter" when Skim is the first result because it is most used.

 

Thanks!

solved my own problem. Adapted the existing template workflow for opening image files in Safari.  Really easy, but here it is if you just want to get going:

Basically, if you search for a PDF, "Open in Skim" will be available as a file action. If you use it a lot, it will be the first one.
