If you have Photoshop installed, then you might have noticed about 15 different items in the Open With... menu when you use this on an image. To get rid of these extra items go to /Applications/Adobe Photoshop 7.0/Presets and delete the directory "Presets".

Hint Options
Huh?
Well, that's weird: I don't have a Presets directory in /Applications/Adobe Photoshop 7.0/Presets, so instead I deleted the Droplets directory in /Applications/Adobe Photoshop 7.0/Samples, which had the required effect.
bad idea
umm... i too do not have a Presets folder under "/Applications/Adobe Photoshop 7.0/Presets"
Rename It
I would think it would be easier (and easier to undo) to just move or rename the folder instead of deleting it. Or even move the options that you don't want out of the folder (I'm not sure what the options are, I don't have PS 7, yet).
Really bad hint
I really don't know what the presets folder is for, but if it's there it is for a reason.
you can use Zingg! instead
Before Apple added "Open With" to the contextual menu I was using Zingg! It does the same thing, and more.
CAREFUL!!
This folder should definitely not be deleted: /Applications/Adobe Photoshop 7/Presets. I don't know what other folder the author could be talking about... I'd think, the one that is probably responsible for all those extra choices is: /Applications/Adobe Photoshop 7/Samples/Droplets. But then again, I don't think deleting it would be such a good idea... This hint is sketchy at best...
FruitMenu too
Unsanity's FruitMenu also provides for an additional customizable "open with" contextual menu.
compress
I compressed the folder: /Applications/Adobe Photoshop 7/Samples/Droplets and got rid of those items in the Open With contextual menu. Just moving the folder from that location, did not stop the contextual menu from finding them. I don\'t use these droplets, but they\'re there if I need them.
losing System option
I don't know how you would have lost the System's "Open with..." CM command, but I'd like to know. I, too, have kept Zingg around and always skip right over the build in command.
losing System option
It's back on re-login, but had not reappeared on previous attempts. A mystery.
Remove extra 'Open With' options on image files
Just in case anyone is wondering - to achieve this in CS1 (and CS2 I assume), you can simply rename the "droplet" folders. They are found here:
Remove extra 'Open With' options on image files
The rename Droplet folder for CS 1 and 2 worked wonders. Smaller Open With... menu which loads faster, Photoshop opened and loaded a large image for editing in 7 seconds as opposed to up to 25 previously, positively snappy. |
