What I want to do from within Konqueror is to be able to click on a file and have it open in an application of my choosing. For example, most videos on my machine open in kaboodle. I would prefer they open in MPlayer. Graphic files open in kview (I think) I reprefer XnView. And, PDFs open in KPDF or KGhostView (I forget which) I prefer xPDF. Right now the only way to do this is click on Open With... and select the app. I don't want to have to do this every time. So, I would like to change the application that Konqueror assoicates with a file. Steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
