Title: file associations
Post by: keef on August 21, 2004, 08:29:28 am

hi

For some reason the file associations got messed up.
When I click on an image it doesnt open and says
'no application defined for this image'

How can I rest the file associations

ok
to answer my own question

think I found the answer in this post from Tumnus:

'Filename extensions (e.g. .pdf) are associated with a filetype using /home/QtPalmtop/etc/mime.types

Those mime.types are then associated with applications via the .desktop files under the subdirectories in /home/QtPalmtop/apps

To ensure qpdf has the association with PDFs, you'll have to remove the PDF mime type from the opera.desktop file and put a new mime type line in the qpdf.desktop file with the PDF mime type.'



-only problem -I checked all the desktop files in /home/QtPalmtop/apps and they were all blank?

All the original files are stored in /root/.home_default.tar in the ROM, so to get any individual files back just untar them from that file.
