I ran into the same problem recently (see post of mine on this list last week). It turns out you may want to provide : /usr/share/mime/packages/blender.xml and /usr/share/application-registry/blender.applications That's apparently what Nautilus looks at, at least when it's in a good mood. You'll also need to call 'update-mime-database /usr/share/mime'. --- Phillip Compton <pcompton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I am currently updating the blender package for fedora.us, but it has > been requested that I make the package associate .blend files with > blender.
