How to choose default application
|

| Hi all,
Debian Etch Gnome
I deleted my PDF viewer because it crashed on some
PDF files. Now I installed a some other viewers
which work better. The problem is now that when
I browse to a website with a PDF file openoffice-draw
is trying to open that PDF file but it can't.
How do I make KPDF the default program to open PDF
files?
Thanks

You need to look at 'File Associations' in the 'KDE Components' section of
the 'KDE Control Centre'. There may already be some applications listed,
but you may have to resort them, or add others.

Thanks for helping Brad but I use Gnome and I
connot find any of the things you mention.
I don't see "File Associations" "Gnome Components"
or "Gnome Control Centre" either.

Menu-click on a PDF file and see what options you have.

CORRECTION!
right-click on file (in nautilus); properties; "open with" tab.

You won't, I m afraid. I assumed, wrongly, that as you mentioned kpdf you
are using KDE.
That aside, I see Jeremy has offered a solution for Gnome.
