No apps linked with the "Open In" Functionality, therefore can't use it.

Hi - I am wrestling with the 'open in' functionality in the dropbox menu. i can see it - but there is no app associated with it. How do I make that happen please?

    the odd thing is that in safari - I have no option = in chrome I do - so is there a browser setting somewhere? Also - how do I change from (say) text pad to text mate?

    What type of file are you trying to open?

     

    Does the file have an extension to it (i.e. a bit after the . such as .doc)
