Comment: The answers are below: I log on as "bob": ~$ ls -al .local/share/ total 12 drwx------ 3 bob bob 4096 2005-02-24 13:31 . drwx------ 3 bob bob 4096 2005-02-24 13:31 .. drwx------ 2 bob bob 4096 2006-01-20 00:21 applications I did what you said, and got the association to work, perfectly... ~/.local/share/applications$ cat gconf-editor-usercreated.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=gconf-editor MimeType=text/plain; Exec=/usr/bin/gconf-editor Type=Application Terminal=false NoDisplay=true And when I do that, the gconf-editor appears in the property dialog of the list of associated applications. However, when I try the same for file doc.lyx, it fails. Here's the content of the file: ~/.local/share/applications$ more gconf-editor-usercreated.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=gconf-editor MimeType=application/x-lyx; Exec=/usr/bin/gconf-editor Type=Application Terminal=false NoDisplay=true When I do this, gconf-editor does not appear in properties dialog as an associtated application and double click does not call it. I am at a loss.... Thanks again! -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
