Ok, nevermind. I think I mostly understand why now... I followed the instructions in the Maemo Developers Tutorial [1] creating a .desktop file for unzip and an xml mime-type definition. The downside for this is that "unzip" shows up in the application list, but filemanager does claim to be "loading unzip." I guess the real downside is that it doesn't unzip :-) Still not sure why you think you need a %f, but this obviously isn't as straight forward as it should be. I'd assume the Filemanager is waiting for a dbus response from the application it just launched, which the commandline app "unzip" just won't do. --Paul On 2/7/07, Paul Klapperich <maemo.org at bobpaul.org> wrote: > > On 2/7/07, Danny Milosavljevic <danny_milo at yahoo.com> wrote: > > > > > > P.
