Re: [PLUG] associate *.PLT files with lpr?

Speaking of doing things automagically on a file event. One could put the files to the same directory every time, and setup a trigger on the directory change event. There would be no real delay that way and as soon as a file shows up, it could be sent to a printer. If you are interested in that,

Re: [PLUG] associate *.PLT files with lpr?

Rather than clicking on it, you could set up a cronjob (or similar) that sends everything it finds in the particular directory you "print" it to, and automatically sends it to the printer and then deletes it. That would make it kind of automatic, if adding a little latency. Russell On Fri, Nov

I would like to be able to double-click on a .PLT file to have lpr launch with the file as the argument. I have created a *.desktop file, made it executable, and placed it in ~/.local/share/applications. It shows up in Dash. But it does not show as an application that I can associate with a

I was resurrecting my daughter's old Lenovo college laptop (G530 from circa 2010) for use when working on projects in my garage - I often need to search for parts or research problems/procedures. I replaced the 3GB of RAM with a new matched pair of 2GB DIMMs for $35, and just for kicks
