"I just alternate-click and choose Open With Other Application" he said in his best Marie Antoinette voice...
Although I would answer that I would normally ruffle my feathers when a software company chooses for me what my actions mean, in reality I have always just lived with the behavior. Doesn't that come with the territory? I didn't write it myself, so I learn the rules of the road according to this system...
In Windows, I learned to alternate click most of the time so that I could choose the desired behavior instead of trying to remember Microsoft's rules (i.e. drag to same drive letter=move, drag to different=copy).
I am thankful Ubuntu offers at least one of the same alternate click choices.
Edit: According to the above, then, it seems I would be "taught" by Snow Leopard to open the app first, then choose what resource to work on with that app. Same work-around I use in Windows and Ubuntu.
