Solution for OS 9
Authored by: VRic on Jul 20, '03 12:22:35PM

I don't know for OS X, but the incredible Default App does exactly what you want: drag files to the left pane, drag apps to the right pane, choose a pair in those lists and Boom®, any file with that creator/type will open in the app you specified. No changing the file's creator code, no extension, no control panel, no reboot, nothing, it's magic.

Now that I think of it, Default App might not solve your kind of problem since it probably relies on the apps creator codes.

So I guess the solution is the same as for OSX: change the projectors' creator codes.

Under OS 9 another (tedious) approach would be to "hide" each projector from the desktop DB. This can be done using AppHider or DesktopDBDiver.
