Re: GWorkspace question

[Edwin Ancaer]

German,

thanks, it is working now.

So it is not I that choose an application, it is the application that decides the file types it can open.

Is there a way to tell what extensions an editor is handling?

I suppose if nobody usus Gemas to edit txt files, it might not be the best choice for it.
What is the editor I shlould use for txt-files?

Kind regards,

Edwin

After install Gemas, or any other documents based app, you should run the tool make_services. Then restart GWorkspace, and you will see listed the new apps. However, notice you can specify Gemas to open txt files. Although Gemas can open any text file, txt is not listed in type files for Gemas. Should I add this?
