Dear List, I have several kinds of files that Gnome detects as "plain text documents": some with the extension .py, some with .txt, some with .mht . . . you get the picture. The .py files I'd like to open with gVim, the .txt files in SciTE, the .mht files with Opera, et cetera. However, when I try to change the "Open WIth" of any of these file types [1], it changes for all plain text files. The behaviour I desire is that I can associate different programs to files with different extension. Is it possible to persuade Gnome to treat files with the same MIME type but different filename extensions separately? If yes, how? If not: do you think a feature request to add this functionality would stand a chance, or has this debate already been had? (I couldn't find any mentions in the archives, or elsewhere, apart from a few forlorn forum posts.) Kind regards, and a happy new year to you all, Sietse (Sietse Brouwer) [1] via right-click > Open With > Other Application... > check "Remember this application for 'plain text document"; or, alternatively, via right-click > Properties > Open With > pick one _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
