yes, this is normal, since .pd file does not have a mime time, so gnome see it as a text file. here is what need to be done in order to make it work as expected (on ubuntu):
# add mime type to .pd files cp mime_pd-extended.xml /usr/share/mime/packages/pd-extended.xml update-mime-database /usr/share/mime # add icon to this mime type # works curently only on gnome, is it possible to find a better way to do this? cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/pd.png /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-application-pd-extended.png chmod 644 /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-application-pd-extended.png gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/gnome/ # adding pd by default on clicking on this files echo "application/pd-extended=pd-extended.desktop" >> /usr/share/applications/defaults.list cyrille patco a écrit : > Hi, something weird is happening if I want to open pd patches with > double clic, it opens the patch with gedit > > any good gnome user would tell me to right clic on the patch icon and > select open with pd > > and it works > > but after I do this setting, .txt files are opened with pd!?? > > so I do right clic on txt file, open with gedit > > and it works > > but after I do this setting, .pd files are opened with gedit > > > and so on > > do someone has the same behavior? > > This is happening on ubuntu hardy i386 and pd-extended > > > _______________________________________________ > Pd-list@iem.at mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list > > _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
