Remove excess 'Open with...' contextual menu entries
Authored by: morespace54 on Apr 30, '07 01:54:54PM

What I would like to know is how can we edit the list? Any clues?
My problem (except the zillions of app listed) is that I have the app version number and I find it quite useless (even anoying since it take waaaay too much space in the menu).

ex.

Open with ->
GraphicConverter 5.02 b PPC
Wathever 604.02b4 b
WhateverToo 1.0.4a
etc.

Any idea? Maybe those 2 problems are not even related or maybe I could edit the name of the app in the Finder or something...
