at least in kubuntu you can do this: konqueror > settings > konqueror > file associations there i entered some file name patterns and this issue is solved for me. the pattern description is found in ~/.local/share/mime/packages/application-scribus.xml i attach this for gnomers (some forum post told me they have no gui for this, but the file should work, then you have a mimetype application/scribus which you can assign) as for the packaging: my scribus version 1.3.3.12.dfsg-1ubuntu2 has a file /usr/share/mime/packages/scribus.xml copying this to ~/.local/share/mime/packages/ also seems to do the job. no clue why it doesnt work in its original location. ** Attachment added: "application-scribus.xml" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26060561/application-scribus.xml -- .sla files (Scribus) can't open with a double click https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/6031 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
