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.
That is done through kfm. Select Edit->Mime Types, then look for your particular file type and then click the right mouse button on the icon and select Properties, click on Binding tab, select the application to run with the Default Application option. If the application doesn't exist you have to create it. You use kfm as well. In kfm select Edit->Applications. That'll bring up a folder with a number of icons, right click on the folder background and select New->Application. That'll bring up a panel where you fill up the necessary information. It's important that you add the mime type you want in the Application tab. See the properties of other applications to get an idea on how they are configured. Once you have your application created go back to the mime types and set the Default Application setting. If your mime type does not exist, create it. Use other mime types as templates.
