I am new to the Mac so this may be a question that has already been addressed on this forum. If so, I apologize.
I just switched from Windows to the Mac and have installed the Mac versions of my photo software. When I try to use an external editor with one of my workflow apps I am presented with a dialog that asks me to pick the app to use. This dialog has what it considers to be "Approved Applications" and I have to change this to "All Applications" to select the app that I want and I have to do this with every photo I process, so it becomes a time consuming pain. I was wondering if there was some way to add an application to the "Approved" list. Surely OS X keeps what it considers to be a list of "Approved Applications" somewhere and, if I could somehow update this list with the app I want to use, I could save myself a lot of time by not having to browse.
Please note I am not asking about downloading non-approved applications, only about adding a specific app to the "Approved" list for photo editing. I spoke with Apple Care about this but they were not any help. They did not seem to understand what I was asking, so I thought I would try the Mac Community. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
