I have the latest Finale but, due to some issues we are all familiar with, kept Finale 2014.5 in my apps.  I want to make v. 25 the default upon opening, but cannot figure out how to do it.  I drag an existing doc to the icon in the dock and that works, but I want to be able to double-click an icon and have v. 25 pop up.  I swear I have tried everything and have not figured it out.  Thanks.

Run Get Info on a file. Select Finale.app to open — you may have to find it in a dropdown menu. Under the dialog "Use this application to open all documents like this one", click on the button Change All. If a dialog box pops up, click OK.

Mike Halloran,  nice tip.  However how do you find get info?  or run get info or whatever?  I hope someone sees this I have also done many things to always open in the new finale, and it always reverts to 2014.5  I just right click and ask it to open to the new one (if I remember.) I would like to skip this step.  I am usually pretty adept at Finale, but not at basic computer skills.  Boo hoo
