Hello, I have set mailcap and mime.types files appropriately. However, from pine attachments, I can view only pdf files using acroread, ps files using gsview, doc, ppt files using ooffice. When it comes to viewing tar or tar.gz or tgz attachments, ark appropriately recognizes the type of the file, but asks you to confirm. At this point of time, file has already been copied to /tmp, and can be copied and viewed independently. But the moment you confirm, file structure is extracted, and shown, but the file gets deleted. Therfore, any further query to ark reports failure. This does not happen with gsview, acroread or ooffice in which case the file in /tmp is deleted only after the viewer is closed. Hence this looks like a problem with ark. Similar things happen with gvim. Also, in konqueror, double click on a file with extension tar.gz, tgz, or tar gives only a hierarchical view in the same window even though in file association , I have ark as the application to be invoked. I can invoke ark using right click, but ark should also get invoked with double clcik. Any help on this problem? I am using fedora core 5 that has kde 3.5.1-1.2 Regards, -R. C.
