Associating XML files to seamonkey

[bobst]

Guys and gals

(Using Puppy 2.14 btw)

Long story short: I used Thunderbird on PC, along with converter, to download webmail files and change them into .xml files. Very nice - most browsers can open em, so no mail client is needed.

Problem:

I can't for the life for me associate XML files to open up with seamonkey / mozilla.

I click on the file
I choose 'Set Run Action'
and then...what?

I've tried using the command line mozstart "$@" but nothing.

Help?

What XSL file environment are you expecting to render the XML file? Are you wanting to view it in the Web browser as HTML? -Mark

I just want seamonkey to open the file when I click on it.

I can open them manually (File---> open file). They display fine.

I'd like to be able to do the same thing from within the file managed (ROX)

How odd...

Now htm files refuse to open automatically from Rox.

They're still associated with the default program (text/htm I think: In windows now, can't check).

I wonder if opera (9.02) does something to fluff up .xml and .html associations? I recently installed it.

Can anyone help on this? I tried dragging the opera icon in the 'Set Run Action' menu, only to have EVERY html file I click on open up on the default opera homepage (google in my case)

Guys and gals
I've tried using the command line mozstart "$@" but nothing.

have you tried giving it a qualifying prefix?

Code: Select all

mozstart file://"$@"

Yep - just tried it. Does nothing
