default opening of .txt files and opera .mht files

[aarf]

if you set opera as the default to open opera.mht files, then when you click-open a .txt file it will also open in opera instead of where you want them i.e. in a text editor.
how to have your cake and eat it too? any clues?

Hi aarf,
I setup a new MIME type, /root/Choices/MIME-types/text_mht containing:

Code: Select all

#! /bin/sh
exec opera "$1"

and then added:

Code: Select all

text/mht:*.mht

to the end of /usr/share/mime/glob

Seems to work alright. Have attached it as .pet

Thanks for calling this to my attention, J

hi jrb,
at quick look
installed the pet but cant confirm any difference from previous,
.txt opening action is still linked to .mht action and vise-versa. and then changing one, changes the other as well. reboot still same.
late now, i'll look again tommorow.

Sounds like you might have to undo any changes you made previously to get .mht files to open. Or start with new pup_save and /or /root/.opera.

Set an unknown file type to open with geany as you did initially...should restore that...then apply the specific mime type addition.

I had exactly the same problem recently...I don't think this is how rox is intended to behave
