I wonder if anyone can help me. I'm running usr-local-bin Gnome 2.8 on SuSE 9.1. I'm looking for what there at least used to be in earlier versions of the Gnome 2 Control Centre, name Preferences, Advanced, File Types and Programs, but this option doesn't seem to exist on my set up. Have things changed in 2.8 or perhaps I am missing a program or need to reinstall something? And if I do need to reinstall, then what's the rpm that contains this stuff? Or if things have changed, in which case how do I tell Gnome to use program A to open file type B, etc.? Just installed SuSE 9.2 on my other PC and am loving it. I installed over Debian Sarge which now seems a bit crude by comparson. There are a score of nice touches around the SuSe 9.2 desktop that a plain vanilla distro can't match. I do hope Gnome 2.8 turns up for 9.2 that pretty soon. TIA :) Fish

I don't think it exists any more - or, if it does, I haven't found it either. "Preferred Applications" allows you to set up browser, mail client, editor and terminal, but for other programs you just have to do it manually by right-clicking and selecting "open with Other Application." It does remember the settings after the first time though. David -- "Never offend people with style when you can offend them with substance" -Sam Brown

OK, that seems to answer it - a new feature of 2.8, then. Many thanks for replying. :) Fish
