Always open a file in a specific program

Solution 1:

If you don't mind specifying InDesign 5.5 every time, then this command line should work:

open -a 'InDesign 5.5' myfile.indd

If you're going to do this often, you can wrap it in a shell script or bash function like

function indd() { open -a 'InDesign 5.5' "$@" ; }

Then you'll be able to simply say

indd myfile.indd
