Thanks... I suppose that really depends on how you're opening them. If your filemanager handles your desktop, it may be configurable to that degree. Some of them seem to care more about the extension than the description, or at least treat extensions as individually configurable sub-divisions. Though it may be possible to create an extra mimetype just for those files (e.g. call it text/something-else). If you're talking about files coming straight from a web browser or email client, then the supplied (not your own) mimetype description may well take priority. What do you get as right-click options for such files? Is there an open-with type of thing, or a properties box that lets you set up your .org files with their own special defaults? -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
