Mac: Easily change the default applications

by Earl Moore on August 30, 2006


Have you been looking for an easier and more intuitive way to change the default applications used to open various file types in Mac OS X. Then RCDefaultApp preference pane may be the answer and it’s free!

RCDefaultApp is a Mac OS X 10.2 or higher preference pane that allows a user to set the default application used for various URL schemes, file extensions, file types, MIME types, and Uniform Type Identifiers (or UTIs; MacOS 10.4 only). MacOS X uses the extension and file type settings to choose the application when opening a file in Finder, while Safari and other applications use the URL and MIME type settings at other times for content not related to a file (such as an unknown URL protocol, or a media stream).
