Extension Details

Open With opens the current Nova workspace or file with one or more apps you configure.

Great for disk usage tools like GrandPerspective, or any other Mac app that accepts a folder or file path.

Usage

Run from Extensions or the Command Palette:

• Open With… — open the workspace folder; if multiple apps are configured, pick one (A–Z)
• Open File With… — open the current file with a configured app
• Open With Default App — open the workspace with the first app in your list, with no picker — ideal for a keyboard shortcut
• Configure Open With… — open the extension settings

If only one app is configured, the picker is skipped and that app is used immediately.

Configuration

Open Extensions → Extension Library… → Open With → Settings, or use Configure Open With….

Apps

A list of .app bundles. Defaults to GrandPerspective if installed at /Applications/GrandPerspective.app.

The first app in this list is used by Open With Default App. The multi-app picker is sorted alphabetically by app name.

Examples:

• /Applications/GrandPerspective.app — treemap of workspace disk usage
• /Applications/DaisyDisk.app — disk space visualizer
• /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app — reveal workspace in Finder
• /Applications/Xcode.app — open workspace in Xcode

Add, remove, or reorder apps with the list controls.
