You could probably change the preferences in Thunar, click on a word doc and edit preferences to open doc's with word instead of abiword. Evolution should respect Thunar's settings also.On Thu, 2007-04-19 at 11:12 -0600, Robin Laing wrote:Peter N Spotts wrote:On Thu, 2007-04-19 at 10:46 -0400, Daniel Gryniewicz wrote:On Thu, 2007-04-19 at 08:52 -0400, Peter N Spotts wrote:Folks, I'm running Evolution 2.10 on Xubuntu 7.04b; how can I switch the "preferred" app for opening *.doc files from abiword to openoffice's swriter? PeteHi, Pete. This is done in Nautilus, not in evo. Find a .doc file, right click, and go to the "Open With" tab. Select the program you want, and you're done. Evo will respect those settings. DanielAh, so I'll have to install Nautilus...with XUbuntu, I'm running Xfce as the window/desktop manager. I thought there might merely be a file I could tweak, since I don't have much Gnome stuff installed... Thanks, PeteAh, well, I used the brute-force approach. I installed Nautilus to make the change, then uninstalled it. All works fine... Best, Pete Chris |
