When I try to open a file from Finder, using right-click -> Open With, it opens up the Applications folder which has the same contents as the Applications folder I can open from the default Dock.

It's actually a list of all applications anywhere on a mounted disk that know how to open that file type.


Xcode is never in this list and I want to know if there is a way I can put Xcode in this list? Even better if I could have it be a "Recommended Application" and show up right on the top level there. I always have to go hunting my hard drive to open files like 'Makefile' with Xcode.

Xcode shows up for me when I right-click a typical "Makefile". Weird.
What other apps show up for you? Just ones that know how to open text files?
If you double-click the Makefile, what application opens it by default? (If you get an error about there not being an app that can open it, then that file isn't being recognized as text for some reason.)


If you want a file to open with Xcode by default, do a Get Info on it in the Finder and set the "Open With:" pop-up to Xcode.
