    "Open in" options

    I do so wish the we could be allowed to choose the list we "open in" documents! I often download apps just to try them out and then store them in folders in case I want to use them at some point. But then the list I can open documents in changes and I lose the ones I want to open in!! I then have to delete the least wanted app! I guess there really is no way round this?

    Unfortunately, no, there is no way to change this behavior.

    However, I saw a screen shot of an iOS 6 "Open In..." window that appears to allow more than the ten options we have now (it showed room for 16 or 20 apps to pick form; two pages!). So, while it doesn't help right now, if we are lucky, iOS 6 will have more options.

    Now, all we have to do is wait until its released...

    Thanks Marilyn! You are such a help on these forums! That would be great if we have more choices in iOS6. I can them reload some apps I have deleted.
