> Which is so strange -- an .mkv file isn't a VLC document; an .mp4 file isn't a QuickTime document, an .mp3 file isn't an Apple Music document, a .jpg isn't a Preview document, and a .tiff isn't a Photoshop document. What the heck?
Aren't they? Most of these tools can open many specific types of documents, so you might want to know if a document is a movie or a picture in addition to what program will open it.
And of course there's the issue that Preview is actually an editor.
