Yes I know, but that's besides the point. Windows has ShellExecute which handle the file association for you. Linux doesn't. >> Under linux, how do you know the users >> favorite text editor? > > To show a readme.txt you don't need to open the favorite text editor. > A browser could do the same. That just moves the issue to another application. How do you know the users favorite browser. eg: When I use Gnome apps like Nautilus, it opens my favorite browser Firefox. When I use a KDE application inside Gnome, it uses Konqueror. When I use Midnight Commander (text based file manager) inside a terminal window and press enter on a HTML file, it also opens Konqueror. These are all inconsistencies, which they need to resolve for desktop apps to truly take off in the Linux environment.
