That program (ISO Master) in the newest version has an ability to View and Edit files. Author designed web browser (by default firefox) to be a viewer and some text editor (by default mousepad - I didn't have it installed) to be an editor. Idea with xdg-open for a view operation is very good. A File will be viewed by an assigned viewer (even default with original idea). But not with edit command. HTML , XML, file no extension despite of their mime type all should be opened in a text editor. Is there way to call default text editor and force it to open any (text) file? Something like: default-text-editor some-file Regards Marcin -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
