Hi Antonis,
I'm also CC'ing the CDE list for their information as well.
I have finally managed to integrate much of the stuff you provided in
your desktop_approots tarball. WRT the icons, I just put them all in.
If someone has a problem and complains, they can just ask us to remove it.
I di
Hi Jon,
Do I understand correctly that dtapp is meant to function in the same vein as
open, xdg-open, gnome-open, etc?
As in, I can type
$ dtapp mypic.jpg
And my picture will open up in some suitable image viewer? If so, might you
consider continuing this naming convention by naming it dtope

Ah, I see. That's a bit different than I had envisioned. It sounds more like
Debian's 'alternatives' framework.
xdg-open and friends choose a program based on filetype detection (for example,
mimetype). Ideally, dtopen would use CDE's own action database to open a file,
with the same result as

Maybe I'm missing something, but what's the need for it at all?
dtaction Open _filename_
should, if the appropriate actions have been defined, recognize the file by its
magic number and/or name suffix, and run the appropriate viewer, or whatever.
And dtfile among others will be able to make us

Well, that would be the built-in functionality I asked about.
It would still be useful, I feel, to have a familiar convention which matches
other desktop environments; dtopen would provide this.
Moreover, Jon's wrapper provides dynamic defaults for a variety of systems.
Right now, CDE doesn't sh

Yes - the trouble was, is that didn't work for say, a jpg or .mp4 file,
or many useful filetypes like PDF's, and the like.
It does now, since in addition to 'dtopen', there are many
If you're saying you want wrappers that for example use whichever of xv,
ImageMagick's "display" command, or whatever is available to display a JPG, and
then to define actions that used the wrappers, fine. But once that's all done,
you'd still just use dtaction Open _filename_ to open the file
