[PD] "open with" on os x

[marius schebella]

I finally found the solution to this annoying problem.
you have to rebuild the launch service database (see 
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486 )
I ran the following command, and that fixed it.

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister 
-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
