Using the Macintosh Easy Open control panel

You use the Macintosh Easy Open control panel to set preferences when
you’ve installed additional translators available from your software retailer.
Such translators give you more choices for opening documents.

On/Off

If you turn off Macintosh Easy Open, it won’t try to find applications to open
your documents. You’ll still see extra information in list views.

Always Show Choices

When you use additional translators purchased from your software retailer,
you can set preferences that determine which application opens a document.
If you turn on Always Show Choices, Macintosh Easy Open presents the full
list of applications and translators to open your documents, even if you have
indicated a preference.

Include Choices from Servers

Turn off this option if you want Macintosh Easy Open to search for programs
only on hard disks directly connected to your Macintosh, ignoring programs
on shared disks. (Using applications over the network is slower than using
them on a hard disk.)

Delete Preferences

Click this button to erase the record of choices you’ve made for specific
translator preferences (useful only if you’ve previously installed translators
purchased from your software retailer). You may want to erase your
preferences when you install new translation software in order to have
Macintosh Easy Open prompt you for new choices.
