I thought this was possible using the inspector window - click on a file "foo.html," and hit cmd-I to open the inspector. Next to "Show:", pull the drop-down to Application. Click on "The generic application for documents of this type," and then hit the "Change Application" button. You should be able to list a new app for ".html" documents.

The method robg describes works for files on UFS volumes. It works most of the time on HFS volumes, but not quite always. The icons may not be displayed correctly until you log out and log back in (they might still display incorrectly then), but this is purely cosmetic. The correct application will be launched to open the document. The icons for certain kinds of files will never be displayed correctly. The most significant of this would probably be C header file. Although they open in the correct application, the icon is always the same as html documents. Vasantha Crabb
changing file associations
Easy in OSX 10.1.3
Just open 1 of the file type that you wish to change and get info on that file. Pull down the "Open With Application" menu and choose an app. Then hit the button below and wah-la! Note: the icon won't change immediately, but the new app will be used regardless. |
