Hi Jeff,
By default there isn't a list of applications unless that type has been
registered in the system for a specific app. You will have go go I to the
/usr/bin directory or the applications directory (see where app is located at)
to tell it to open with that app.
I've found sometimes if I open like transmission it'll register .torrent file
associations. I'm unsure of how else to target it without manually locating the
application.
Regards,
Shawn B.

Subject: How to choose application to launch file with?
I keep trying to open files/links for torrents or software center links, etc
that I don't have a default application for in Xubuntu and it brings up that
dialog box that says:
"This link needs to be opened with an application. Send to:
Choose an Application"
I hit choose and it opens up my downloads folder..
Shouldn't there be a list of applications or something?
I don't have to navigate to where the program is installed in my filesystem do
I?
I sure hope not.
Also is this the right list to be asking this again?
Thanks!
