Hello,
We have a Sun Ray user base installed of about 20 users currently. One
problem I am constantly having complaints about is that users are having
issues with the JDS desktop regarding file assocations. I know this is
not necessarily Sun Ray specific, but thought that someone on this list
must have had to deal with this.
Basically, a typical problem is that the user will use the "File
Browser" to find a file. Say, for example the file is an OpenOffice
document with a ".odt" file extension. After double-clicking on the
file the user gets a "No Action Associated" pop-up saying:
"There is not action associated with "<file>.odt".
You can configure GNOME to associate applications with file types.
Do you want to associate an application with this file type now?"
[Cancel] [Associate Application]
The problem is that most of our users are not JDS guru's or even Solaris
guru's and do not know which program or even if they know the program
they don't know the full path to the program to create the assocation.
We see similar problems with .pdf files, etc.
I have a simple Sun Ray configuration with two Sun Ray servers. Both
are running Solaris 10 11/06 with the latest patch cluster installed
through October.
Does anyone on this list have experience or know-how for setting up file
associations for JDS on a *global *basis for a server? I would like a
method by which I can setup all of the file extensions and associate
them with specific applications (i.e. OpenOffice, Acroread, etc) for
both of my Sun Ray servers so that my users can just double-click on
these file icons in the File Browser window and the proper application
will automatically open the file.
Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
-Ken
