[newbie] File Associations lost
I installed Mandrake 10.0 Official Edition, on a PII 450Mhz., yesterday, and, I must say, it's great - so far. Only one little annoyance: I have my file associations tweaked just the way I want them, and I realise that I want/need to install some software from the CD's using rpmdrake. When I am finished installing, I realise that my file associations have been altered. This happens every time I install somethng from the CD's. So, three questions: 1. Why does this happen? 2. How can I prevent it? If I can't, is there a config file somewhere that I can copy (before install) and restore (after install) to get my file association back without having to use the control centre? 3. Am I the only one experiencing this little annoyance? If there were a file containing the file associations/settings, I suppose I could create a bash script to restore my file associations after I install anything - this would be much easier. I found that I like bash scripts - after creating one that will back-up all my personal file in a matter of seconds.

That's OK. If enough people complain, maybe someone will do something about the problem.

I usually use XFCE4 with ROX as my file manager and this doesn't happen... -- Alexandre Aractingi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
