Hi, this is not directly Debian related, but I'll chance it :-) How do I tell KDE to start an application in the same directory where the file it is supposed to open is saved? I.e. I have associated *.tex with GVim. I click on a TeX file, and GVim starts, but when I compile the .tex file, the .dvi etc. files are always created in my home directory, because GVim's $PWD doesn't change along with the opened file. I know I can change this (and I have) with GVim, but I don't know about all the other applications. Can you somehow put a macro like %p in the "working directory" field in the menu editor? I've tried, but it doesn't seem to work right. What macros (%u, %p, %f, etc) are there anyway? Thanks! -- Jens Benecke > "Dann nimm lieber gleich Pattex!"
