EDIT: Ooom. Hitting the spacebar opens another kind of Quick Look as the double click.

I even did not know that there is a difference between Quick Look and Preview. Lession learned.

I think I am too stupid for this trick. There is no “Open with…” button in my Quick Look app. And yes, it’s 10.8.1.

Or buy a refurbished Mac Mini and turn it into a server for $20

Left-click and hold the Open With Preview button also brings up the menu.

In fact there are quite a few Left-click and hold menu options on ML. Show All in System Preferences for example.

Interesting little hidden trick, though I don’t know how much more I’d use this than just right-clicking the file to use Open With menu.
