Oh, now I understand what you mean by "Debian menu" vs "KDE menu". I just tried this on my Sid machine, setting a .WMV file to open in Xine (as found by browsing the Debian menu), and later when trying to open the same .WMV file, it defaulted back to Kaboodle. Hmm, interesting.Kent West wrote:Steven Feinstein wrote:What I want to do from within Konqueror is to be able to click on a file and have it open in an application of my choosing. For example, most videos onmy machine open in kaboodle. I would prefer they open in MPlayer. Graphicfiles open in kview (I think) I reprefer XnView. And, PDFs open in KPDF or KGhostView (I forget which) I prefer xPDF. Right now the only way to do this is click on Open With... and select the app. I don't want to have to do this every time. So, I would like to change the application that Konqueror assoicates with a file.You should be able to just right-click on your file, select "Open With", choose your preferred app, and at the bottom of this window (before you click on OK), should be something like "Remember application association for this type of file". That should set that file type to open with your preferred app in the future.I agree with you. That is what should happen. But for some reason it's not. I right-click, select Open With.., Other choose my app from the Debian menu (in this case Debian | Apps | Viewers | MPlayer). I select Remember Application Association and it says Updating Configuration.. and then opens the file in MPlayer. The next time I left click on that file, kaboodle opens again. I don't know if I have a setting wrong or its a permissions issue somewhere, but the association is not staying. I'm running Sarge with packages last updated 9/1. Steve
Sorry; don't have a fix. But at least you know it happens elsewhere besides just your computer.
