Application Wizard Icon

Open files with specific applications

When previews are enabled, the Special menu lets you easily open files with specific applications. You can for instance open a tab-delimited text file using Excel or a JPEG image file using Photoshop.

To open a file with a specific application:

  • Select the file in the Special menu and choose an application from the Open With submenu.

  • If the application is already running, you can also quickly choose it from the Open With Running Application submenu.
