Removing application type from .GPX file types - no application to be associated at all, not changed to a different one I have accidentally associated an application to the file type .GPX But I do not have any application that I use to automatically open gpx files with on my MAC. Therefore I want to choose to have no application associated with .gpx files but all the OS will let me do is choose one. So everytime I try to download a gpx file I get the error message, that I can't open the file. Well I don't want to open it! I just want to save it on my MAC. How do I remove a file association altogether rather than change it to a different one. Google shows me I can do this on Windows! I have Ventura 13.2 installed on my MacBook Pro. Thank you

How to remove ALL file associations of a given app? Quite awhile ago I installed Parallels. It didn't work out for me, so I uninstalled per their instructions. However, the file associations it created to Windows apps remain. For example, the Open With options for .zip files include File Explorer. I want to clean up all of these file associations, but so far I cannot figure out where they are defined.

How do I allow an app access to files in Mac OS 16, Ventura How do I add an app to the list in System Settings/Privacy & Security/Files and Folders? As you can see in the screen capture, there is a minus "-" at the end of the list and I can remove file access for any of these apps, but there is no "+" to add a new app. I've tried dragging apps onto this list, and I've spent a lot of time searching for such a feature, all to no avail. Anyone know how to do this in Ventura? My account I am attempting this from is an administrator.

Command i opens the Information pane— select a new default to associate...make a change Open With: & "Change All"

for third party apps—if in doubt search the developers website or contact their: Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues/compatibility/updates…
