Remember apps to open a file with #50

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Currently it seems that Mobile Finder will ask you again and again with
which app a file should be opened. It would be much nicer if it would just
remember the last app a file already has been opened with in the past and
offer this before offering all installed apps. Or even better: Order the
list of offered apps so that the last used apps for that file are on the
top of the list.

Anyway, if you want to edit some text files with Mobile Finder going
through the list over and over just to find Text Edit in it gets boring
very fast.

You can set this behavior in the Settings section.  Just add the file extension 
and
the AppID you want to start for that file type.  Auto remembering this would be 
good,
however...

The trouble with the extension -> AppID mapping is that it is complicated (you 
have
to find the AppID in the first place and painstakingly type it in) and not that
useful if you want to edit files with no (or many different) extensions (which 
the
Unix innards of OS X have a lot of). And of course it is in no way what you'd 
expect
from a device like the iPhone.

I think just putting all apps once used to open a file with at the top of the 
list
would be much more intuitive. Well, now someone just has to code this...
