greetings,
this may sound silly, but how do i change the default application when opening files from e-mail attachements … case:
i receive an excel file, and gnumeric wants to open it … i’d like to change that to openoffice … i tried the ‘dateizuordnung’ in the ‘systemeinstellung’ (personal settings), but it’s still prompting for gnumeric … theo
- topitz,
which mail application?

mozilla thunderbird … theo

i GUESS TBird is picking up the system’s default extension type
association and shunting .xl attachments off to gnumeric…
here (using KDE3) i would change that by opening Personal Settings,
Configure Desktop and then click on KDE Components > File
Associations > Application > msexcel and then ADD OpenOffice
Spreadsheet into the Application Preference Order box, and move it up
above gnumeric (or delete gnuermic)…
there (since you didn’t specify which desktop you use) i don’t know
how to do it…

Are you on kDE?
Right click any torrent file, “Open with”, search for ktorrent, check “Remember application association…”
