This is a general question about how to assign a default application to open a specific file type on Mac that is answered on the web.

I've tried it to make ChimeraX open PDB files instead of Chimera and it worked in macOS Catalina (10.15.3).

I use mac (10.14.6).
 
But when I double-click mrc/ccp4 file, chimera automatically opens it.
 
I want to open it with ChimeraX (which is faster).
 
However, even when I right-click on ccp4 file -> open with -> always open with -> ChimeraX_Daily,
only that specific file is opened with chimera automatically.
 
Does anyone know how to set up so that all (including future) .mrc and .ccp4 files are opened with ChimeraX?
 
Thank you
 
Best,
