File Associations

[werwinn]

Hello,

I downloaded and read the ROX manual. I guess that I need a little hand holding. The CLI is a very powerful and at times daunting tool.

I have Opera 10.10 and Firedog installed and would like to be able to associate Opera with .mht files and Firedog with .html.

So far all that I have been able to do is disassociate my plain (.txt) files from Geany. I do understand that ROX is not recognizing .mht.

Any pointers or directions are greatly appreciated. . . .thanks.

I did a lot of forum and net searching to no avail.

If you right click on a file and scroll down to 'Set Run Action...' you can set the program you want to open the particular file type. Hope this is what you are looking for.

Right-click on an *.mht file, choose 'Set run action' and set to:
rox "$1"

@daftdog and @Amigo

Thank you very much for the quick replies.

I should have been clearer in my original post.

The Set Run Action GUI shows that It is setting the run action for 'text_plain'

1. I have tried right clicking on a *.mht file and setting the run action.
a. By draggin the Opera executable app from it's folder to the set run action gui
b. By draggin the Start Opera executable app from it's folder to the set run action gui
c. By typing the shell commands Opera, and Start Opera in the gui
d. I just now tried typing opera and start opera in a terminal and the commands were not found.
e. When I dragged the start opera executable to the gui and then ran it. The file did not open in Opera the just the browser with home pages.

I may need to reinstall. Might have been quicker. I am afraid that I really mucked up the associations.

What do you think.

Thanks, werwinn
