"Right Click" question - Tahoe (not sure where to post this)

[dadders6]

When I right click, I'd like to remove Adobe Acrobat (and Color Sync) from the list that pops up. How does one do that? I use Adobe Elements a Lot, but adobe Acrobat never, and frequently cursor / open Acrobat by mistake.

The macOS way is to uninstall Photoshop. But if you occasionally need it and don’t want it in the menu try:

You need to delete the Photoshop Droplets if you don't want them to show in the OpenWith choices (much simpler than editing the Info.plist for each one.

If CS2 is like CS, they will be in
/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS/Samples/Droplets/Photoshop Droplets

The short answer is you can’t.

But you can do something really useful: create a QuickAction in Automator that opens selected images in Adobe Photoshop Elements (or any app you want), make it appear in the main right-click menu and event set a shortcut.
See the image for the QuickAction settings


To make it appear in the main right-click menu, after saving the QuickAction in Automator, run in Terminal:

 /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Delete :NSServices:0:NSIconName key" ~/Library/Services/OpenInPhotoshop.workflow/Contents/Info.plist; killall Finder

To set a shortcut, System Settings - Keyboard - Keyboard Shortcuts - Services – Pictures - OpenInPhotoshop

I did uninstall Acrobat, which I never use and that worked. I can always reinstall it from Time Machine.

Thanks. it's Acrobat (pdf) that I never use. I DO use Photoshop Elements a lot. I uninstalled Acrobat, which got rid of it in the drop down. I can always reinstall it from Time machine.

I was referring to Color Sync, a system app that can’t be deleted or permanently excluded from the Open With menu. Of course you can delete Adobe Acrobat or any other user-installed app.

The QuickAction I presented above would allow you to open images in Photoshop Elements without having to go through the Open With menu.
