I'm trying to create a way of opening a set of project files in multiple apps, using Alfred.

I know about the File Group extension in the powerpack (I have this), but as far as I can see, there's a limitation in that it only opens the files with the default app.

My usage case is this:

Open a .html file with Chrome
Open the same .html file with MacVim

Anyone know a way around this? Maybe an applescript is more what I'd need?

However, I can't get Spotlight… >>> More

I would like to be notified by java about this change as soon as possible(no frequently polling if possible.). Because I think I could call java.io.file.lastModified… >>> More
