 |
|
My 70000 system needs some serious updating in the pgms that it offers for types of action - I would like to auto-associate some pgms with some file types.
So is there an easy way of doing this in Gnome?

I don't think there is a simple way. Generally, to set file associations, I choose an example of a particular format, such as a .doc file, right-click on it, choose Properties, and choose which app to associate with it, such as Abiword. *shrug*

Would be nice to make a good set of these for BLAG if you can make a list.

There's a simple way to find out all (or most) of the supported files on a BLAG server.
| Code: | | awk '/^# [[:alpha:]]+:[[:space:]]+file/' /usr/share/file/magic |
This'll show you the first ten on the list | Code: | awk '/^# [[:alpha:]]+:[[:space:]]+file/' /usr/share/file/magic | head
# Localstuff: file(1) magic for locally observed files
# acorn: file(1) magic for files found on Acorn systems
# adi: file(1) magic for ADi's objects
# adventure: file(1) magic for Adventure game files
# Glulx: file(1) magic for Glulx binaries.
# allegro: file(1) magic for Allegro datafiles
# alliant: file(1) magic for Alliant FX series a.out files
# amanda: file(1) magic for amanda file format
# amigaos: file(1) magic for AmigaOS binary formats:
# animation: file(1) magic for animation/movie formats
|
The last ten
| Code: | awk '/^# [[:alpha:]]+:[[:space:]]+file/' /usr/share/file/magic | tail
# visx: file(1) magic for Visx format files
# vms: file(1) magic for VMS executables (experimental)
# vorbis: file(1) magic for Ogg/Vorbis files
# VXL: file(1) magic for VXL binary IO data files
# wordprocessors: file(1) magic fo word processors.
# chi: file(1) magic for ChiWriter files
# xenix: file(1) magic for Microsoft Xenix
# xwindows: file(1) magic for various X/Window system file formats.
# zilog: file(1) magic for Zilog Z8000.
# zyxel: file(1) magic for ZyXEL modems |
and there are 158 different file types ;-)
