Title says it all...misconfigured mimetype?

This can be easily set, but why in Geany? php are webpages right? They should open in seamonkey/defafultbrowser? And then add rox right click for web developers/designers? I'm not at home right now but I can make pet for these, just not sure if we should set DEFAULT run action to open in geany, html files are set to open in seamonkey right?

php files are more like interpreted programs, that need the php service to be installed to run (like on webservers). Puppy isnt a webserver distro (although it can do it), so perhaps best that php files are open with a code editor, edited and uploaded to a webserver to be run.

Yes, but if you go online on some php page and save it "Save as..." it will save it with php extension, so imagine everyday user saving webpage and then it opens in text editor where he sees bunch of lines he doesn't understand I don't mind, I can make it anyway you need, someone just need to decide what will go in official version.

ecomoney, are your customers raising so quick to php-developers? if it should be newbie-friendly, defaultbrowser would be the correct action. if you rightclick on a php-file you'll get

edit with geany
edit with leafpad
send to trash
view with seamonkey

the options are all there, so maybe just leave it as it is. if there is no clear run-action, why define one.

aragon is correct. There is no point associating a web file type with an editor by default because it could prevent the file from being opened normally with the web browser. Use RoxRightClicks to edit if necessary. Individual users can still use the Set Run Action option in Rox to associate the file with their editor of choice.
