Every Association is linked to a file type. This can be specified by an extension, which will link files with certain extensions to the Association, but can also be other links such as name contents. More than one Association can be linked to a certain file type. For instance, an Association called MIDI Files which is associated to files with an extension of 'mid', is linked to the file mymusic.mid. Another Association that is linked to all files containing the words 'music' is also linked to this file. So Actions from both Associations show up on the Action menu, their order being determined by the order the Associations show up in the Association List, which you can use the up or down arrows to modify in that window.
Ordering Associations
Packafied allows more than one association to be linked to a file
type. The order of associations determines the order the actions
are displayed on the Action Menu. To
make a certain association's actions appear on top of another's, move
that association above the other one using the
Up Button and
Down Button. This becomes important when double-clicking files
in the Main Window because the Action
at the top of the list gets executed in this case.
Click on part of the window for more information.
