ZO219  I'm a little concerned to see the developer release this as if it were in any way new ... when I see it is exactly the same as years ago in Classic Mac. And the file types and mappings reflect this, as well as the old, old choice of IE 4.5 for browser. How long ago was that?

RCDefaultApp by RixStep is the true file mapper for OS X, and the only reason to use MIsFox is if you have simple enough needs.

The developer's description is not entirely the case ...but I think this version may be a bit more editable.

I'm concerned that noobs and switchers may get confused by all those file types that don't even exist in OS X ... which is, after all, what we're working with.

SCHMELDING  Nice app. Does what it says and not overly complicated. PLUS, I can verify that it works on my "MacIntel" MacBook. :)

HACKIT98  Excellent app. Much easier than the manual way of doing this. The only problem is that when I deleted an entry it did not refresh the table. It was still there. Of course, a restart of the app showed that it was properly deleted, but it was a little odd. Otherwise, excellent app.

RICHARD TATER  This does more than More Internet. It provides an interface to change all the MIME type file mappings (in addition to the protocol helper programs). It remains preferable to me.

MATS LONGERHART  It's a nice application and it's free (and it's a pity how MacOS X sent us into the past in too many respects, being the one addressed by this app one of them - other "fixers" aren't and we're spending money on them to get back feautres MacOS did have).

However, More Internet (which is also free) does the same thing this app does and it's a preference pane, which is a more convenient thing as far as I'm concerned.

GREENIE  This is an immensely useful app -- easy to use and reliable. It makes up for the confusing lack of features in OS X that some of us relied upon in OS 9 Internet Settings and Internet Config. Enables the user to change File Mappings (i.e. what file is opened with what app) and Protocol Settings (e.g. what is launched to handle ftp protocol). Personally, I like having this as an application rather than a preference pane.

ANONYMOUS  What took so long for a program like this to come out? Would be nice if it was a prefs pane.
