An "open with" dot pup would be great! I have just spent half a day trying to figure out why I couldn't open any text or abi files and it looks lihe it is all from associating .asf with mplayer. Never knew that it would change all the files with a text icon.

What are the chances of seperating extensions so they could be associated individually? Open .abw with abiword and ,txt with beaver etc.

I know it may be to size issue, but the newer version Rox that came out has all these features and more. I hope that we can upgrade to it eventuallly Laughing

I'm getting there, learning more about widgets at the same time Smile

Here is a screen shot from todays work...

added option for "run action" so a filetype can have several actions, and the command line can be set for each "run action"

This is almost looking like I'd use it Shocked

I want to also look at if mime types need to be configured like extensions... but migh leave that to a second version.

Thank you Guest Too. I was beating myself up over that one. The only thing I noticed is that it reset the default "Home" folder in rox to / instead of /home, but that is fine because there is a right click option for home directory. Even included the icon Wink

I might just have to disect that one and see what makes it tick. I almost got the template figured out.

Thanks again. I had no problems with this one. I have set up a few other extensions and it's really just a matter of preference to fine tune things for each user and or need.

There are still some that I just haven't figured out how to seperate from the defaults like video types .asf always shows up as a text file. Is there an easy way to disassoiate it with a group so it can be opened seperately?

yes, add these lines:

of course, you don't have to create a new video subgroup ... you can just add asf extensions to a video group that's already there ... for example:

you should be able to click one of the camera links
tell Mozilla or firefox or Opera to Open With ... /usr/local/bin/gxine
and it should show the traffic cam
you might need to install the Win codecs for it to work

you can also use mplayer, but i think you need the mplayer plugin to play it directly (i tried to get the mplayer plugin to work before, but i didn't get it to work quite right) ... you can download and look in the .asx file, and play the url with mplayer
