Thread: Use filename extension instead of content type to choose default application ?

-

i associate default application file type "the old way" using filename extension (*.doc etc.) instead of file contents. reason increasing number of applications using xml file format. xml type files - if use different filename extensions - can associated 1 application.

install 'file types editor' a.k.a. assogiate.
add new file type. can give number of attributes. important filename, should *.<your extension here>.

file name patterns take precedence on file contents or xml elements. if mime susbsystem detects file xml, should identify file correctly. of course, more elegant way specify xml elements file type can tricky.

1 new file type created, can associate application within thunar or xfce4's mime type editor.

cheers!
