No, I wasn't aware I could change/re-order the Open With list from the
Properties window. I don't think I would have stumbled across that - I would
expect the Properties window to only affect the exact file I opened it on, not
other files of the same type. But now I've found it, I agree it's pretty sweet!

Yeah, I'm aware I can change the default by using "Other Application", but this
issue is exactly about the wording of that menu item. This is very much a
psychological problem, but I feel a bit weird using "Other Application" to
change the default to an application that is already listed above the "Other
Application" menu item! And I'm thinking from a new user point of view - what
would they expect when seeing the menu structure as it currently is.
