Thanks Phillip. Did you get any apps in the 'Open With' menu list? Mine is empty. To get any application to open a file I have to type it manually (or choose one from the cached drop down entries in the Open With panel). I ran kate %U, but nothing much happened. :( Will try to repeat all this in a KDE session just in case. Meanwhile, what does your /home/<user>/.config/menus/applications.menu look like. Mine is empty and comes up with the error shown below: $ kbuildsycoca --menutest Warning: kbuildsycoca is unable to register with DCOP. kbuildsycoca running... kbuildsycoca running... Reusing existing ksycoca kbuildsycoca: WARNING: Parse error in /home/michael/.config/menus/applications.menu, line 1, col 1: unexpected end of file -- Regards, Mick
