[opensuse] Add Right-Click Menu to Files
Sorry for the newbie post, but I can't seem to find this anywhere. In KDE, I want to add a right-click menu item to various items. For example, I want to add an "Open With" item for a .html file, so that when I right click, I can "Open With" my browser or my editor. Either that, or I'd like to be able to set a default action to "open" such files with one application and "edit" these files with another. Is there a way to do this? -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There are two possibilities: - When you right-click take "open with->other...", then in the dialog choose the app you want to use with this type of files and check the box at the bottom (assign this program to these files - sorry I have german version only). You can do this with different apps (well, one at the time), each will be added to the menu. - Or go to KDE control-Center->kde components->file assignements ("Dateizuordnungen"), there are all the options and you can also change the order of the items appearing in the context menues. kind regards Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Switzerland professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com Madagascar special: http://www.sanic.ch -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Funny that this was just brought up. I am trying to sort out a related thing. I have some kde config files I install globally that add these sorts of things. Before KDE 3.2, adding an item to the definition file called NoDisplay kept the action from being displayed in the KDE menu, but kept it in the right-click menu. This was perfect. The reason the old behavior of NoDisplay was good is that in the right-click menu you have a file name and can pass it to a program on the command line. In the KDE menu, you are starting a program with no referenced file. It seems that NoDisplay now means to not show it anywhere. I guess this is leaving SUSE and heading to KDE, but is there any way to set the old behavior back? That is, show an action in the 'Open with" menu in the right-click menu, but do not show it in the KDE menu. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.

Very good, thank you. I had forgotten it was there and my friend, Google, was of no assistance. -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
