Where to define file association for your documents in ADE-XL environment?

JanH

Hi,

 Well, the subject says it all: We have added a pdf document to a design's ade-xl view (section "documents") but when we try to open it (double clicking or RMB->Open) the KDE file browser "konqueror" opens and not acroread!

 I've been looking for solutions in both worlds: KDE and this community but can't find it. I would have expected this to be something trivial and well documented setup feature but it apparently isn't. 

 Any advise would be welcome.

 

Thanks,

 

Jan.

  • Hi Jan,

    It's a bug in ADE XL; it's not correctly telling QT the "protocol" in the URL to represent the file, and as such this means that QT gets KDE to launch it via a web browser (Konqueror) rather than using the KDE registered file association.

    Whilst I understand what you're saying, it does really make sense to use any file associations as set up in the OS - we don't want to have to duplicate things like this within the application. If it worked OK, then I don't think there would be a problem, although we also need to document it so it's clear what needs to be done.

    Anyway, hopefully we can get this fixed before too long.
