From: Jim on 22 Jul 2010 04:15 In my 'Open with' contextual menu I'm seeing to entries for VLC, but both open the same application. I've done a search for two actual copies of VLC but there is only the one. Any ideas? Not a problem, just a wee bit odd.

Have you recently updated the app and still have a copy in the trash? -- Cheers, Steve

(It is in /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support) -- Chris
