New extension: Open With App

[fturcheti]

Description

This extension provides a keyboard friendly way to open the select Finder items with an arbitrary application. After selecting some items in Finder, files or folders, you can invoke the command "Open Selection With…" and be presented with a filterable list of applications to open your selection with.

This is better solution for my previous script-command.

Hey, thanks for the contribution!

Everything looks great, but please use .png icon 512x512 size for the extension as it described in the Guidelines

[fturcheti]

Hey @mattisssa! Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I'll provide another icon. But I have two questions:

1. Is it ok to use the Finder icon in this situation or I'll have to come up with something else?
2. And what about the name of the extension? I think it doesn't fit exactly the guidelines, but it seems to be a good choice for this specific situation.

@fturcheti

1. yes, I think it's fine 👍
2. I've updated my comments about naming, check them out, I think proposed ones is alright

[fturcheti]

@mattisssa I fixed the icon and updated the names according to your suggestions.

Edit: I was reviewing this and I found a "Open With…" command in Raycast. So wouldn't it be better to keep the ellipsis at the end of the command name?

The ellipsis is common UI element that indicates that you'll have another step in the process, so after hitting "Open With…" you'll have to make another selection before effectively opening something. Without the ellipsis, and with the Finder subtitle, it seems that you'll "Open With Finder":

Much better 💪

@fturcheti yes, you are right, let's keep it like this "Open With…" 👍

Thanks for the review, @mattisssa. I reverted this naming change, did a small code cleanup, improving the getFinderSelection logic, and updated the extension icon following the template provided in the extensions documentation.

Now we're ready to launch!

Thanks for the updates! 👍
Let's bring it to the Store now.
