For example, an mp3 file stops playing as soon as I switch to a different app. So I want to open it with QuickTime Player. I CAN open it without dragging it out of the trash by dragging it to the QuickTime Player icon. But what I really want is to open it by double-clicking. Surely there is a default one can set to get rid of "You can’t open the application 'whatever' because it’s in the Trash". Something like: "defaults write com.apple.finder ApplePissUserOff FALSE" Anyone? The problem with QuickLook is that it only works when the Finder is the active application.
