hi -
i don't do it this way... i have cleared all my associations in Firefox
and Thunderbird since nothing ever seems to work all the time...
cp /usr/share/applications/defaults.list ~/.local/share/applications
and changed all the types there to map to my preferred applications...
anything gtk seems to use this list in kde...
seems to work without a hitch... it will be available here for a bit...

cheers

I accidentally typed "VNC" when I meant "VLC" when Thunderbird asked

Now I can't find how to undo that selection.
Does Thunderbird have a mimeTypes.rdf file in your profile, like Firefox
has? If so, you could modify the action for wmv, manually. Ensure the
program is not running at all while you do this.
Firefox's: ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/mimeTypes.rdf
In /home/bobg/.thunderbird/inggc4ck.default/mimeTypes I changed vnc to
vlc on two lines which then caused it to once more ask me what
application I wanted to use!
<RDF:Description
RDF:about="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:video/x-ms-wmv"
NC:path="/usr/bin/vlc"
NC:prettyName="vlc"
And that fixes the problem, I selected vlc and the file played.
Thanks for the help.
Bob
