specify editor for ADE Explorer documents

drdanmc

Is there a way to specify what editor will be used for opening a document in ADE Explorer?  I have an Ocean file (.ocn suffix) and when I open it, it is coming up in gedit and I'd prefer xemacs.  The "editor" SKILL variable doesn't seem to take in this case.

Thanks

  • It uses the freedesktop style file association database of your underlying desktop system.
    How to add/modify the file associations via GUI depends on your window/file manager;
    e.g. in KDE its in the Menu -> System Settings -> File Associations.
    Other option is to manually edit the local user database in ~/.local/share/applications (or edit the global database for all users).
    An overview can be found e.g. on www.freedesktop.org/.../

    Thanks.  That worked.  I added a longer reply detailing exactly what I did for it to work but it triggered some sort of content filter.
