With It X 1.2.1

With It X 1.2.1 is an effective utility which adds the ability to open a document using an application other than the one that created the document.

In addition, documents and folders can be handed off to applications for processing, such as DropStuff for compression or BatChmod for changing permissions.

Using the application information on your hard disk, it can present a list of applications in a dialog which can process the currently selected items in the Finder. In addition, it can automatically build a list of favorite applications for each type of item.

Major Features:

1. With It will automatically remember what your favorite applications are for different types of items. After the first time you process a document or folder (or both) using With It, on subsequent displays of the contextual menu, the "Process With" menu item will change into a hierarchical menu, listing what your favorite applications are to process the current type of selection. In addition, if the "Always show Best applications" option is enabled, the menu will also list applications which can directly process the selected item. Finally, via the "Other" menu item, you're able to pick an application which isn't listed in the menu.
2. The "Show" pop up menu can be used to display additional applications in the application list.
   • Show Best - Only shows Mac OS X applications which can directly process the selected item.
   • Show More - Shows all applications (including Classic) which can directly process the selected item as well as applications which can process any type of item.
   • Show All - Shows all applications which report that they can process documents and folders. In this case, you may see applications listed which cannot process the selected item. 

Enhancements:

• Now a Universal Plug-In to support Intel-based Macs.
• Added option to always show Best applications in contextual menu.
• Fixed problem with sorting of application names.
