MacOS – How to reorder the programs in the ‘open with’ window of a file

Okay, so you can do it for whatever Unix program you want to create a wrapper for.

Create an Automator application with a single action: Run AppleScript.

Make it run the following script:

on run {input, parameters}
        set x to "/usr/bin/vim " & quoted form of POSIX path of input
    tell application "Terminal"
        activate
        do script x
    end tell
end run

If you really want to use some other editor in place of vim, you could replace /usr/bin/vim in the second line of the script with the path to whatever command you are trying use to open files from Mail.

Not sure but it MIGHT be the MS Word icon that takes the extra space.

Try this, get info on the file after you have changed it back from an MS Word document.

Click on the icon in the upper left corner

Press COMMAND-X (cut)

close the window

re-open it and see what the size is....

Just spitballing here...
