Choose the tool for the job

The same file can belong in different workflows. Give an editor, viewer, or project app its own place in your menu.

Choose an installed app once, then open selected items in it from your custom menu Action.

Limit an Action to specific file types, so a text editor or image app appears for the files it is meant to open.

Enable folders for apps that can open a project directory. The same command can work on a folder selection or its background.

Create separate Actions for different apps. Adjust the supported file types and folder behavior to fit each one.
