The more applications you install on your Mac, the more it becomes variegated section "Open With ...". Some applications may not be suitable for all type of file for which the context menu opens. It's annoying, but fortunately, just enough to restore order.
Option 1 (does not work at all)
Open the Finder to a folder ~ / Library / Preferences /, this can be done through the menu "Go to folder» (⌘ + Shift + G).
Locate the file com.apple. LaunchServices.plist
rename com.apple. LaunchServices.plist in com.apple. LaunchServices-backup.plist or simply move it to another location (if you are not worried about backing up, and can completely remove it). After that, you may need to logout to take effect
Despite the prevalence of this council on the web, not less feedback on that on systems ranging from 10.6, it does not rebotaet. Do not load it and I :) So to all fellow sufferers recommend the next option.
Option 2. (Concrete)
Run the "Terminal" the following command:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
That's all! No action is no longer required. Now the next time you open the menu "Open With", it will look neat:
