Matti, I think the mistake in "/usr/share/mimelnk/application/x-gambas3.desktop" is the Patterns being set to "*.g;*.G". I tried correcting that to "*.gambas;*.Gambas" on my system. But, I got impatient and didn't want bother seeing if a reboot would cause the new pattern to be picked up. Here's a quick fix. Ensure that you have a file "~/.local/share/applications/gbr3.desktop" with the content: [Desktop Entry] Exec=/usr/bin/gbr3 MimeType=application/gambas; Name=gbr3 NoDisplay=true Type=Application (It can sometimes take a minute or so for the system to recognize changes in "~/.local/share/applications".) Then go to System Settings -> Applications -> File Associations. Search for "gambas". It should be: Filename patterns: *.gambas Description: application/gambas Application Preference Order: gbr3 If it's not there, add it. -- Lee __________ "Artificial Intelligence is no match for natural stupidity." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
