The problem is, I get the same screen for both .txt and .bat files - see attached

Hi,
In KDE you can choose the default application for each file ending via the properties dialog you get when right-clicking on the file.

In other words, I need ".txt" to open with an editor and ".bat" to open with dosbox - automagically (without right clicking)
TIA, Duaine The config is incorrect. You have the same default app (Kwrite) for both .txt and .bat. You need two configurations. To have .bat opened by default in DOSBox, in Configure File Associations click on Add (left/center bottom) and create a new config for just .bat and DOSBox, while removing .bat from the text config list. The question is - how do I get two separate configurations ?
I setup the .bat for DOSBox but when I click to get the properties of .txt, it begins up the .bat config screen.
Duaine To test this, I just opened File Associations, added an entirely new applilcation file type (named test-filetype-bat), added the *.bat filename

Then after changing a .jpg file to have a .bat extension, the context menu for that file now offers to Open with Kplayer and if clicked on, Kplayer starts. Kplayer attempts (and fails) to open the .bat file due to wrong file type of course, but this illustrates how to set up what you want. FANTASTIC ! That solved my problem.
