Hello List. I messed up my file types somehow. I tried to add additional programs to handle mp3 files. Now Konqueror does not recognise files with ending .mp3 correctly anymore. If I add an additional .ok or anything else, Konqueror obviously does not use the ending but recognises the file differently, and there the file is recognised correctly as mp3 and right-click -> Attributes (? I don't have english locale) can present e.g. id3 tags, and right-click->Open with gives a nice selection of apps to use to open the file. When I go into the Konqueror settings for file types (under audio) I get something like 5 or 6 different ones for mp3: - For starters I get 2 file types called mp3 which have as application only RealPlayer8 (however, when I right-click on a .mp3 file under Konqueror I get XMMS first then RealPlayer8, then nothing), it seems that RealPlayer8 installed this file type. - I also have file types: mpeg (twice) with apps: Xmms and RealPlayer8, mpeg3 with no app, mpegurl (twice) with RealPlayer8, and mpeg with RealPlayer8 - I then have file types with an x- in front (MIME???): x-mp3 (twice! one with icon the other without) with a plethora of applications, like xmms, Kaboodle, Noatun, xine, RealPlayer8, xmms queue, Kid3, KMPlayer - There are also x-mpeg with RealPlayer8 only, x-mpeg3 (no app), xmpegurl (twice, with different file endings, but the same list of apps: KMPlayer, Noatun, xmmx queue, Kid3, RealPlayer8), x-mpeg-url (no app). seems that one of the file types x-mp3 is used by Konqueror when it automatically recognises the file without looking at the filename ending, as this is the list of apps I get with right-click->Open with. Can someone help me sweep up this mess? Kostas

Open Konqueror, go to a directory with some mp3 files in it and Right-click on an mp3 file. Select 'Edit File Type'. I dont remember how it is been translated in Greek but it is one menu entry before the last one. There you can manage the applications order etc for this file type.

The problem is I think the other way around. If I do what you propose (BTW: diorthwsh typoy arxeioy in greeklish) in a directory with mp3 files with file names ending .mp3.OK I get a different file type from a file with a plain .mp3 ending. I want to re-assign the .mp3 ending to the correct file type. Kostas
