How to add app to Open With?

Select one of your srt files. Ctrl-click and select Get Info. Under "Open with:" select your preferred application. Just under that click Change All... .

 

Hmmm ... . That, I don't know how to do.

P.S. Another option would be to have TextEdit docked in the Dock, and then just drag you srt file onto it (the TextEdit icon in the Dock) whenever you like.

 

Right/ctrl click on the file in Finder and then select from the "Open With" list. It will just work that once and won't be the default.

 

I drag it from finder to my TextEdit icon on the dock.

Edit: Someone already posted it...never mind.

 

I have found it easier to keep my dock icons to a minimum, so only the apps I am running are on there. I launch apps by spotlight or via launchpad then start typing the app name(Mountain Lion). There is also an app in the Mac App Store called Yoink, that I use for things like that also.

 

Hmmm...I thought that the "Open With" list showed every App that could open that file.

 

Yeah, you could try to rebuild the Launch Services database in Terminal. I'd bet it won't add TextEdit to the list on those files, though. Let us know if it works.
