Programatically change which opens a file type
Hi there,
If we have 2 apps on our customers machines that can both open files of a certain file extension, is there any way via shell commands to set which application should be the default?
Essentially, I'm hoping to replicate Get Info > Open With > Change All, but using a script.
Thanks in advance!
