I am sorry, I'll remember that next time.
thanks for the commands....but is there anyway to find out which
application to use to launch that particular mime type file???
The previous poster pointed you to /etc/mailcap. The second field of
each line (i.e., after the first ; and before the second ;) is the
command to execute. See 'man 5 mailcap' for more info. A combination
of 'file', 'grep' and 'awk' will give you the necessary command.
Yes, I understood and also executed the "file -i" command...it was more
appropriate for my use. But my question still lies unanswered....how do
i launch the particular application associated for that mime
type...where can i find information regarding this on my system (SuSE
10 KDE 3.2)
Control Center --> KDE Components --> File Associations
