[opensuse] Open With
How do I add an application to the right-click menu of Konqueror? For example, the past few days I've been working on one of my websites (www.filesite.org) which was written in PHPbb (http://www.phpbb.com/) and uses various PHP and HTML files. I want to edit them using Kate for the most part. When I right-click, I get a context menu which includes an "open with" option. Open With gives me Opera, Firefox, NVu and Other. I have been selecting Other and typing Kate. I want to add Kate to the Open With options. Or, if possible, add an "edit" option with Kate being my default. Can I do this? -- k -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

just click "open with..." chose the app you want to use from the appearing window and check the checkbox below "assign this file type to that program" (mine is in German...) or use KDE control center and go to KDE Components, File Associations regards Danel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com erotic art photos: http://www.bauer-nudes.com Madagascar special: http://www.fotograf-basel.ch/madagascar/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks, Daniel. However, won't that associate HTM files with Kate and not Firefox? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, I don't think so. If - until now - only Firefox is associated to that type of file you see 2 point in the context menu: - open with firefox - open with... If you add a second program to be associated you will only see the "open with..." and the app[s] you added will be shown, plus "others", but if you just click on the file, it will still be opened with the first app in the list. As much as I know a newly added assosiation will be added below the exising one(s). However you can still change the order of the associated apps (or remove one again) as described by Boyd or go to KDE control center where you will find the same options. chau Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com erotic art photos: http://www.bauer-nudes.com Madagascar special: http://www.fotograf-basel.ch/madagascar/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes. There's a couple of different ways, but the one I used today was: 1. Open folder/directory containing the file in Konqueror. 2. Right click file. 3. Choose "Properties" from the pop-up menu. 4. In the properties dialog, locate the "Type:" line, and click the unlabeled (!) wrench/gear icon. 5. This brings up the edit file type dialog. Changes in here are visible to all KDE application, although some may or may not use all the information available. 6. If "Kate" is not in the program list under "Application Preference Order", click the "Add..." button. 6.1. This opens the standard choose program dialog. Choose the correct kate command line by opening "Utilities", opening "Editor", and then clicking "Kate". 6.2. Accept your selection and close the dialog by clicking the "OK" button. 7. At this point, you may close the edit file type and properties dialogs by clicking their "OK" buttons and Kate will be available under the "Open With ->" submenu. 8. If you would like Kate to be the default application for opening this file type, return to the edit file type dialog. If you closed it, simply follow steps 1-4 again. 9. Select "Kate" under the "Application Preference Order" by clicking it. 10. Repeatedly click the "Move Up" button until "Kate" reaches the top of the list and the button is disabled. 11. Accept your modifications and close the dialog by clicking the "OK" button. 12. Now, you may close the properties dialog by clicking its "OK" button and activating (single- or double-clicking, depending on your settings) any file of that type will open it in kate. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/

Okay, that's perfect! I got it. I'd send a screenshot, but can't figure out how to do a screen shot with a context menu open. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you are using KSnapshot, just set a small delay before the snapsnot is taken. Then go open whatever context menu you wish and wait... -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If the capture mode is "Region" then the delay is grayed out. If The other capture modes allow this option. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sorry about that incomplete message. I was trying out the KDE4 version of KSnapshot which I also have installed (I didn't realize that). With the capture mode set to "Region", the delay option *is* available. However, it doesn't seem to work so well. There is a delay and then you can select the region, but after that it wouldn't quit (the on-screen instructions said to hit escape to exit, but that didn't work). CRTL-ALT-ESC eventually killed it, but I guess in the process I sent the previous incomplete message by mistake. -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
