Hi Jason, If I've understood you correctly, what you want to look at is the "embedding" tab on the right hand side of the file associations screen. Look up "txt" for example. By default it's set to use embedded viewing which means it previews within Konq. Change it so that it uses external viewer and set that to Kwrite. Same if you want to view jpegs in a separate viewer and so on. Check it out, you'll see how it works. Hope that helps, David

Yep, that's exactly what I wanted as far as local files! Thanks David and Kai as well. Now, does anyone know where Firefox is getting its associations from (where it wants to use KGhostView instead of KPDF - what is set up in KDE file associations)? thanks, --Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hope I have understood your question correctly: If you use KDE desktop you could look into the default chat client, a program called Kopete (look under Aplications > Internet > Chat > Instant Messenger in the KDE menu). Uhm.. I think he want's to know how long his employees chat during their work time and if it's private or for business..

Depending on the protocol I'd try it with a packet sniffer like wireshark, however - I won't say more, since I'm not a fan of sniffing privat conversations(inform your employees that you're actually recording their conversation!). Greetings Michael

It is pretty simple if you don't mind a little digging around...

1. Click on the geeko then Configure Desktop. 2. Click on KDE Components. 3. Click on File Associations 4. Click on Text (under Known Types) 5. Click on plain. 6. In the right hand window, you'll see a list of apps uner the "Application Preference Order." You can add or move these as needed. 7. To make the file open in the app you choose, click on the "Embedding" tab. 8. Under "Left Click Action" select "Show file in seperate viewer".

Click apply.

Of course, if you're like most of us on KDE who don't use that awful Suse desktop, Configure Desktop is labelled Personal Settings (Configure Desktop) in step 1. :-) :-) -- Bob Smits bob@rsmits.ca A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Yes, I know, Patrick. But as long as I don't have to use the "new" Suse KDE desktop, I'm happy. -- Bob Smits bob@rsmits.ca A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Man, you sound like me complaining about Gnome. :P

Seriously, I really like the suse kde desktop. Makes things way easier. In fact, I like Vista's menu, too!

(shrug) - whatever. I don't clearly remember the vista menu, we looked at vista for a few minutes before nuking it forever and installing suse. I seem to recall it looked vaguely linux-like on at a GUI level, but under the hood, still having a "C:" drive, backwards slashes and other peeceeisms.

Hope that refreshes your memory.

Ah yes that looks vaguely familiar. You're running it the right way, good man!

Unfortunately, the CIO for Los Angeles County seems to think Linux is a four-letter-word.

I feel your pain. I've been swimming upstream here at $MAJOR_COMPANY for 10 years. I endured discouragement and lack of budget while setting up linux infrastructure services on discarded windoze boxes with personal copies of slackware and redhat. Fortunately times change, and now linux is a cornerstone of our IT infrastructure, with Itanium boxes, newish HP Proliants and IBM P-Series for running SLES, with full support agreements from Novel.

Fortunately, he's retiring. With an $81M IT budget, you'd think we would spend it on things other than legacy OS's. :P

Ah, great - hopefully there will be room for some new thinking.

Fortunately, our retirement board is all run on Novell eServers and SLED.

Excellent choice. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
