RC Default App is a preference pane that allows a user to set the default application used for various URL schemes, file extensions, file types, and MIME types.

MacOS X uses the extension and file type settings to choose the application when opening a file in Finder, while Safari and other applications use the URL and MIME type settings at other times for content not related to a file (such as an unknown URL protocol, or a media stream).

RCDefaultApp also allows entries to be disabled, such as URL schemes that have security issues

What's New:
Built as a universal binary for use on Intel Macs.
Added "Apps" section to assign multiple extensions etc. at once.
Added "Media" section to allow setting actions when digital cameras and webcams are plugged in.
Disallows setting an application for the "app" extension and related items, as this causes problems.
Uses localized descriptions for URL schemes.
Changed to use a sheet for the About information, triggered by a small "i" button.
Fixed a couple of other minor bugs.
