Macintosh Easy Open: Show Only Recommended Sources (2/95)


Why is Macintosh Easy Open not giving me the option to select "Show only recommended sources" on my first attempt to open a document? I want this option active so that Macintosh Easy Open will filter out all the unnecessary choices.

I can sometimes select this option after opening and closing the Macintosh Easy Open control panel several times. I use it for PC files. I have DataViz translators that open the files and translate them.

The Macintosh Easy Open "Show only recommended sources" option is greyed out (not selectable) because the list always contains all the recommended choices when it is first opened.

The "Show only recommended sources" option is only there to try to reduce the list when it may be filled with unusual choices.
