Hello linux folks! I'm using KDE as my primary desktop environment. Some files in kfm window are already linked to certain applications. When you point and click on a file it invokes a corresponding application, viewer or editor according to the file's extension. Does somebody know how to associate file type and its extension with corresponding application which must be invoked when you point and click on the file in kfm window or on KDE desktop? I need to associate .doc files with StarOffice5.1 and .gif, .jpg with Gphoto applications. Thanks in advance for any help. Alex

From the KDE mailing list, on the subject of changing ghostview to acrobat for *.pdf files:

--- To stop kghostview from coming up when you click on *.pdf: 1) go to $KDEDIR/share/applnk/Graphics/kghostview.kdelnk 2) Right click on kghostview.kdelnk and select Properties. 3) click on the Application tab 4) in the left list at the bottom there should be an entry "application/pdf", 5) Select that and click on the "-->" to remove it from the left list to the right list. To add a *.kdelnk for Acrobat: 1) Left click on Templates icon 2) Drag a Program.kdelnk into $KDEDIR/share/applnk/Graphics/ 3) When you drop select "copy" 4) Go to $KDEDIR/share/applnk/Graphics/Program.kdelnk, right click and select Properties. 5) fill in the info on all tabs (Examine others like kghostview.kdelnk for examples.) 6) Do the reverse of what was done in the kghostview Application tab: select "application/pdf" and click on the "<--" to move it to the left list. --- -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
