I use Mathematica and I wanted to add a file type for mathematica files
to my installation of Konqueror (all Mathematica files end in .nb). I
did this by right clicking on one of my Mathematica files and using the
resulting dialog box to set the default application, extension and
Icon. everything sort of works with the folowing slightly inconvenient
exceptions:
1) Non mathematica files are also displayed in Konqueror with the
mathematica icon. Examples have the following names:
/home/msh/msh-shadow/Notes/RunningKDE1andKDE2Together
/home/msh/msh-shadow/Notes/MostRecentInstructionsOnAddingWindowManagers
/etc/auto.master
/etc/bashrc
/etc/crontab
and many others.
2) If I have more than one application listed in the Application
Preference Order (e.g. nedit) that is the application that always gets
used to open the file, never Mathematica.
Are there any workarounds to these problems (besides waiting for KDE 2.0
to be released)?
PS
I've installed KDE from the following RPMs:
