Subject: How to associate a file extension with preferred executable
My system is Debian 12.8 with MATE 1.26.0
It used to be that clicking on a PDF opened it with Atril.
I don't know what *I DID*, but it now opens with L3afpad.
I assumed that Edit Preferences was the place to go.
But under Browser->Helper Applications it says "always ask" indicating
system isn't getting that far.
I used to know what to do ;<
Help please.
Unix doesn't use or have file extensions. That is a microsoft thing.
Filenames in Unix are 255 chars longs and no character is significant.
Who said anything about Unix?
I'm running the Debian flavor of Linux.
Linux <> Unix
