[newbie] file types/associations
Greetings all, I have a question about file types and associations. I see in CC in the file associations, when you expand, say the audio section, there is a listing of known types. What I would like to know is what the seeming duplication of types is about? There will be a listing for say, midi, then down in the list midi will appear again as x-midi. I'm wondering why is there two, and, if I want to edit file type or association, do I have to edit both, or just the x one? Is the x for X-windows or is that too obvious? I'm a bit confused as usual. :-/ TIA for any insight on this. :-) --Angus Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness.--James Thurber *** *Reg.
