Hi!
I use 0penSuse 11.0 with gnome.
I want to open .ogg-files by double-click with banshee (0.13.2).
But when I click on them only banshee opens but does not play anything.
I can start banshee first and than choose and open the .ogg out of banshee’s menu - so banshee can pay ogg-files generally.:
(I can choose rhythmbox/vlc ect. instead of banshee but I like looking at big covers when the music plays…;))
So I think I have to alter the “open with” preferences (associations, bindings) with a right-click on a ogg-file and than choose not the “banshee”-icon but search the right program manually.
What application/path do I have to choose
to to open .ogg-files by double-click with banshee?
Or what command do I have to type not only to start banshee but also to add the ogg-file to the banshee’s playing-list?
Thanks a lot,

You want File associations which is under desktop settings and under Configure settings in Konqueror among other things.
Thanks to john_hudson
for your reply on yesterday evening/night.
But under gnome I have (by default) installed Nautilus instead of Konqueror.
In gnome’s Nautilus you can change the “open with” preferences (associations, bindings) for all *.xy files with a right-click on a *.xy-file (like described). The problem had been that I could choose there the icon “banshee” for *.ogg files in that preferences but when I click on a *.ogg file only banshee opens but does not play anything.
I had been asking for a command or a path to a program/database/lib ect. not only to run banshee but also to ad the double-clicked *.ogg file to the actual play list (“Local Queue”) in order to play it. Maybe I can find the answer to that question in any/banshee’s man-files.
But thanks anyway: After I had been running a different profile and changed once the “Preferred Applications” for multimedia in the Control Center from totem to benshee (and maybe done something else I do not remember):
Now (by miracle? ;-)) I can play .ogg-files with banshee (0.13.2) by double-clicking on them.

The problem is solved for me
but I am still curious about the right command to ad a double-clicked file to banshee’s actual playing list. (I want to lean a little bit more about linux/opensuse so I can solve the next problem not just by chance.)
I could not find any manualpages or infosides belonging to banshee. Only this “–help”-file under the command line:
"…]banshee --help
Usage: banshee options … ]
where options include:
–enqueue <files> Files to enqueue, must be last argument specified

–no-source-change Do not change sources with --dap or --audio-cd
–no-present Do not bring the player window to the foreground
–version Show Banshee Version"
To me “banshee --enqueue <files>” seems to be it but I still do not know how to specify the argument “<files>”
as the double-clicked file.
Maybe I should ask the question again in the banshee forum?
