Thks for the info. You checked the "remember this application ..." checkbox as well when you made the association, right? I am at work right now, so I won't be able to test this for a couple of hours. Just for the record, There's already a 'javaws' command on my "Open with..." list for JNLP files, and I already tried permanently associating files to it, to no avail. I'll try to remove this javaws definition and recreate it as you did, to see if anything changes. BTW: here at work we're using Ubuntu 10.04 (which also uses GNOME 2.30). I just tried launching the CelsiusConverter.jnlp from nautilus (file browser) and Firefox opened as the preferred application (!?) -- but it correctly handled the JNLP file, opening it through javaws (but, of course, I don't want to have Firefox as intermediary ;-)). I then tried to do what you described: - right-clicked the JNLP file and opened the "Open With > Other Application" dialog - added a custom 'javaws' command (with absolute path) - marked the "remember this application ..." checkbox When I clicked the "Open" button on the file association dialog, javaws was launched. But, double-clicking on the JNLP file launched Firefox again :-( (indeed, the first option on the right-click popup menu still is "Open with Firefox web browser") ?! :-( Regards, Andre
