Several times now I have tried to associate an application with an image file type. Thus far I have been entirely unsuccessful.
Let's say that I want to add support for SMPTE DPX. Under preferances, I select File Associations. I use the "Edit file type" dialog and enter Description: SMPTE DPX Image MIME type: image/x-dpx Category: Images Filename extension: dpx Actions: gm display All seems good. So I go click on a file and it says that there is no association for the file and would I like to add one. When I go to do so, I see that the MIME type is application/x-dpx, category Misc, and extension 'dpx'. So (already feeling a sense of defeat) I fill out this dialog using the MIME type it guessed, and it says that there is already a definition and would I like to override it. So I say yes and close the dialog. I click on my file again and I get the exact same dialog that there is no association. I have tried this for several file types already but there is still no love. The computer seems to have a mind of its own and does not submit to the will of its attendant human. What am I doing wrong?
