associating an application with a file type

[Udvarias Ur]

I'm new to this list, so you'll have to forgive me for not observing rules I'm not aware of.

I starting using Krusader version 2.4.0-beta1 "Migration" for about 6 months now on Ubuntu 11.10. I chose it because It works like Norton Commander and Windows Commander.

There is one thing that I have not been able to find, that was extremely useful in the others. The ability to associate a particular type of file with a particular application. Just like Norton and Windows Commander, Krusader has default applications associated with different file types. i.e. .jpg files are loaded into Firefox. In Windows Commander, and I believe Norton as well, it was possible to reconfigure it to load .jpg files with a an image viewer instead.

Can that be done in Krusader? If so, how?

Hi Ur,

Right-mouse-click on a file in Krusader-> Open with ... -> Other ... -> [here]
Select the app and check option 'Remember application association for this type of file'.

Ive a similar issue. By default emacs opens when I hit return on a
txt file.
Ive no idea where that is coming from -- cant find it in any of the
menus.
Of course I can right-click and open with something faster like kate
but simple enter still uses emacs

[Richard Kelters]

I don't have emacs installed, could it be an emacs specific problem ...

Dear Richard,

Thank you very much. I've tried your instructions, they worked fabulously. Honestly, I don't understand why I missed that check box all this time.

Sorry if I did not make it clear -- krusader is starting emacs when I hit return on a txt file.  Theres no emacs running otherwise.  Are you saying thats an emacs issue?

IOW my question is simply: krusader has some logic to do something when a return is hit and surely has some configuration that says what that "something" is. Where to find it? For example some programs use the shell variable EDITOR. I checked I dont seem to have any such set.

What happens when you hit enter on a txt file in  Ubuntu native file explorer (Nautulis orso)?

Just to outrule any OS-emacs dependencies.

The same! -- emacs opened.
So its some kind of default external editor but its not the EDITOR varliable
Seems to be some file association at gnome-level.

Thanks for the debugging help

[Rustom Mody]

Ok I changed the file association in nautilus and now its changed in krusader
Thanks again!

How does Krusader decide what how to open things? Internal list, or external tool? I wish it would use the standard xdg-open, but it does not.

Hi,

There is a KDE System Settings module for this:

http://www.maketecheasier.com/configure-file-associations-in-kde/

It is also possible to make it manually:

$HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Yuri

This works when I am in the main window but how do i set it when using the Search Files option? I am trying to search for and view a pdf file. When i go to the Results tab and open it, i get this "PDF was opened with UTF-8 encoding but contained invalid characters.

It is set to read-only mode, as saving might destroy its content.

Either reopen the file with the correct encoding chosen or enable the read-write mode again in the menu to be able to edit it." 

I just want to open it in Document Viewer.
