If you have been trying to figure out how to change what program – or “application” in Mac parlance – is used to open certain filetypes, here's how to do it.

  1. Locate an example file of the type you want to change.
  2. Right-click it and select Get Info, or just click it and hit Cmd+I.
  3. In the “Open with:” section, select the application you would like to open that type by default.
  4. Click “Change All...” and confirm

Page Outdated! Comments disabled!

As do many people using Drupal to power their website, I get a lot of comment spam, and Drupal's spam filter is horrible! So I have permanently disabled comments on old.alanhogan.com. Try the new version of this page (which may not exist, but should if this page actually has content besides a list of other articles).

Consider using my contact form to get in touch. And remember that AlanHogan.com is live and old.alanhogan.com is here as a backup only, and a stopgap measure because some AlanHogan.com functionality is not implemented yet.
