Ray Nichol asks:
Hi,
I tried Jackson’s tip for changing the default file type in ‘Preview’ but did not work. I am on OSX 10.7.5 and would love to change this but just won’t work.
Regards,
Ray

November 10, 2012Preview opens many different file types; it has no default type. If you want certain file types to always open in Preview, that’s something you can easily do.
But since your question is a bit vague and you haven’t given any reference to the tip you attempted to use, you’ll need to be more specific as to exactly what you’re trying to accomplish.
