IMHO, Quanta+ was the best website editor ever but that's all in the past. I wasn't terribly thrilled with Bluefish at first. It had to grow on me. Once I learned how to make my own custom tags with the snippets editor and figured out that I could group all my most used tags on the quick bar tab it started to grow on me.

Sad but true. I too liked quanta+.

Ultimately the value of any software is its utility. So many of the FOSS applications come out of the *NIX world and the developers have *NIX assumptions that are built into the way the application works. For example: I use darktable. It makes sense to me. The developers are responsive. I've tried using photoshop at a friend's site; he's a photographer and swears by it, but the assumptions about how to interact, what's where and so forth are just ... different. Its not that there's a different GUI; I've dealt with GUI- changes and a GUI is really there with all the menus that you cane explore. HOW-TO books for photoshop, sites on the web, are plentiful. perhaps they are needed. But I find darktable simply 'makes sense' to me. Case in point: I have konq/dolphin with a tab on my ~/Photographs/ and can click on the RAW and darktable comes up with it ready to edit. I asked my friend how to do that with photoshop and his favourite file browser. he didn't know and it wasn't in any of the 5 books he had. Maybe it is possible, but it wasn't as simple or obvious as it is with Linux. Or perhaps with Linux I just now the patterns so the doing of it is obvious to me. This guy was older than me and had bee using Windows since the mid 1980s, W/3.1, he tells me. He said that was slow and unresponsive compared to competitive products. But he kept using it. I asked about OS/2. "Nah, never tried it".

Maybe I should check into it. For history's sake ;-).

You're saying his program won't open up that file automatically from Windows Explorer????? All windows programs that work with files register file types with the system. It is exactly the same (probably) in KDE/Linux. If a file type is not registered, you can right click the file, and then select "Open With.." Then you will be allowed to choose an application and to also make it permanent. If you want more out of that it is slightly more difficult as you have to find (it is quite hidden now) the menu in Explorer (not Internet Explorer) that gives you access to the file type and folder options. There you can select the file extention(s) you need, and select a program to run on it. Perhaps Photoshop does not automatically register that RAW type you mentioned, but it definitely automatically registers, or tries to register, or asks you to register, the other types it can use, most notably of course its own format. That just goes without saying. Every Windows application tries to do that. Let's call it "for commercial success". Some even change the icon representing the file type extension. For instance, Winamp will change "MP3" icons to its own icon. They basically try to claim your system and you have to tell them not to ;-). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Rightly or wrongly, that's how his system seems to work. He works in terms of logical "film rolls", and is more concerned about tagging. he has hundreds of different tags. Once he's in the program he can find 'anything' using tags. That's important to him. Opening specific items, searching by using the explorer, isn't.
All windows programs that work with files register file <snip>
Yes I'm aware of that. i told him that. I got a "so what" look. Apparently his system never was set up that way; he's never worked that way and doesn't feel he's missing anything. He never start photoshop that way. *** Just like I never start applications from alt-F2. *** <<<<<====== -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
