been using it for a long time but just had to re-download, so I thought I'd show how much I like this at the same time. This is the number one must-have for peolpe who deal with files which have to be opened with different apps depending on the circumstance (like web dev. with JPEGs, GIFs and HTML files). Really, one of the finest freeware products around. And please, please, please, please port to OS X!!!
