Make Application Default

[pe1800]

I run PCLinuxOS 2009.2 KDE 3.5.10 in multi-boot with Windows XP.

For displaying pictures I like GQview. How can I make that app the DEFAULT?

What apps should I use to IMPORT pictures from a CAMERA, from a CD?

Thank you for your help.

pe1800,

Click on the KDE Control Center (third button from the left on the launchbar on the panel ... at least on mine anyways), and go to KDE Components > File Associations > image. Select the image file extensions you want to associate with GQView, highlight GQView, and select "Move Up" in the Preference Order window.

Now, whenever you double click on an image, it will automatically open up in GQView.

Right click on a picture file, then choose Properties.



Click on the wrench/spanner icon on the right side of the window.



Click on the application of your choice, in the lower left pane, then click the appropriate button to the right, to place that app at the top of the list.





Click on the Apply button, and when the process completes, the OK button, and the chosen application will now be the default application for opening that type file. You will need to do this for each picture extension type; .jpg, .png, .gif, etc.

If the application you wish is not listed, click the Add button, and select the application from the menu offered. The added item should appear, already at the top of the list. Then click the Apply and OK buttons.
