First of all: sorry for top-posting this. I receive a daily digest, so I can not directly answer to a single mail, so my answer will be out of the original thread. Can anybody tell me how to do this? >> Hi, >> I have set up kde file associations to launch /usr/bin/hpglview for >> *.hpgl, *.hpg, *.plt files (application/vnd.hp-hpgl).

So now konqueror remembers that I want to open it with an 'other' program, and every time I click on such files, it pops up the 'Open with' dialog, where I need to type in the path of the executable. Annoying. I still don't understand, why files accessed through webdavs:/ have these problems, other files do not! If I mount this server directory by wdfs as a local directory, then everything works nice, clicking on the file is correctly handled by the application/vnd.hp-hpgl association, and the program is started. ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
