The "Zip" Family
The "Zip" Family
The zip entry in rox sourceforge.net does not seem to discriminate between zip files and tries to open a qtractor .qtz file with xarchive.
I managed to change it so that the qtz files, when clicked on, open with usr/bin/qtractor,
but then any .pets, .zips. gzips etc also try to open in qtractor, which of course are doomed to fail.
Is there a way to make a .qtz file association only, just for qtractor archive files?
A bit hard to explain, but I hope someone gets it without going off on
tangents.
Note: The right click asociation is fine, I managed to get an open with qtractor ok.

What sounds to me is that the .qtz mime type is somehow the same as .zip or included in the xarchive. Maybe you need to make its own mime type. See http://puppylinux.org/wikka/HowToAddMIMEType Then specify the set run action.
First though, make sure there is no file in /root/Choices/MIME-types for the .qtz file.

I just realized the problem... i think. The .qtz file happens to end in a "tz" which happens to be an extension for a compressed file. The mime type looks for anything ending in tz and labels it a zip and when you go to set run action for .qtz it sets it for all zip type applications. This is not what we want. Instead, we need to edit the mime type to allow for .qtz files and set the run action on them.
Could you a upload a small .qtz for me to experiment with? I'm not 100% sure of the solution but i think we can get there. Also, I'm unfamiliar with the dark city page you mentioned

Yes here's a .qtz file, just a default setup one. (Has to be renamed).

Hey Smithy.
I have a workaround.
When clicking a file by pressing the shift key, the file is interpret as text file and therefor sent to /usr/local/bin/defaulthandler (in fact it's sent to another script, which calls or is sym-linked to defaulthandler).
In /usr/local/bin/defaulthandler I'd added some modifications for files like .jpg. These files usually open in image viewer, but when I'm clicking a .jpg file by pressing shift, it calls GIMP (defaultimageeditor).
Here's my defaulthandler script:

Okay, so I've solved it. If you have the devx installed, (it's an sfs you can get from the setup/sfsmanager called development libraries or you could get it somewhere else)
What you need to do is place the attached file in your /usr/share/mime/packages directory and then run in the terminal the command
After that, restart X -> go to shutdown, restart graphical server, and when it boots back you have to "set run action" (right-click on file) and instead of being in the 'zip' family it will set for qtractor.
If you don't have devx installed, I recommend it because its useful if you ever want to compile anything, but supposing you don't want it, there is another way.
paste this code into a script file. Set it to be executable in the permissions and run it. Then of course restart X. I haven't tested that method.
I hope this helps,

p.s. ITSMERSH I love your workaround but I don't think it's quite what Smithy wanted, however I might try it in the future myself

I've made a pet of it to add to qtractor. It's funny, step was talking about that stuff with woodenshoe the other day concerning rox filer.
Many thanks for working it out.
RSH: that does sound good that you can click with the shift key to change what you want to open, from a viewer like Viewnoir to an editor like Gimp, once you got used to it, that could be snappy.
