On KDE 3.5, with konqueror as the file browser, you can right click on the given file, Select Properties -> General Tab ->Type -> Edit File Type then set the programs to launch the file type. Or, in your case, remove the programs to launch the file type. I guess its not much different with dolphin either. BTW, why not use single click to select, double click to launch in the GUI so that there wont be accidental file launches ?
Well, as I mentioned upthread, I did indeed switch to double click to launch. But your method for kde3 probably won't work (don't have any more KDE3 machines to try it on) because as far as I can remember, the system uses "magic numbers" to determine file type EVEN when you try to tell it what extensions go with what programs. Its part of the "smarts" where linux knows the file type even if the user changes the extension. man 5 magic -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
