[opensuse-kde3] konqueror - file association - how make x-shellscript display in embedded viewer like group 'text'?
All, One quirk I have always wanted to fix is that konqueror (--profile filemanagment) treats BASH scripts as type `x-shellscript` instead of plain text. What this does is makes it impossible to tell konqueror to just display the script in the preview pane with the `Embedded Advanced Text Editor (katepart)` like you can with normal text files. This may be easy to do and I just haven't figured it out, but how do you do it? When you (right-click) edit the properties for a file.sh, the problem (looks like a bug) is that when you tell it to `Show file in embedded viewer` -- it doesn't. (I don't know what it does, I presume it tries to run the file) Another problem when you edit the properties for file.sh, the [Embedding] tab offers the `Left Click Action` to `Use settings for 'application' group` instead of the 'text' group. For some reason this prevents being able to display the file. How do you tell konqueror to just display the script in the embedded viewer? -- David C.

I found that I can make left-clicking work by making the topmost application one of the editors (KWrite is what I used), but it opens in a separate window; for right-clicking, in the Embedded tab I have 'Show file in Embedded viewer' selected and 'Ask whether to save to disk instead' activated; when I right-click it opens in the Konqueror pane. Here's a related question: for shell scripts without the .sh extension, is there a way to make Konqueror recognize the filetype by its #! header? I almost never use the .sh extension on scripts that I write. Leslie -- A Caution to Everybody Consider the Auk; Becoming extinct because he forgot how to fly, and could only walk.

Thanks Leslie, that is how I have it configured, but I was trying to get it not to launch kwrite (embedded viewer is much quicker if I just want to look at it)

Well... no :( The only way konqueror has to differentiate one text file from another is with the extension. (sound like an opportunity for you to write a new plugin :) -- David C.

If only I knew how to do such a thing, I would. -- A Caution to Everybody Consider the Auk; Becoming extinct because he forgot how to fly, and could only walk.
