PCmanFM 0.3.5.10 - how do I associate file types with applications?

Shagbag · 01-22-2009, 03:26 AM

I'm using PCmanFM 0.3.5.10 on top of Openbox 3.4.7.2 (I'm trying to run a minimalist system).

Currently, when I right-click on a .png or .jpg file in PCmanFM I get an option "open with > open with another program". I would like it to show "open with > feh" since I use feh to view images.

I believe the solution has something to do with associating MIME-types to applications (I could be wrong about this), but I don't know the first thing about how to do it.

I've googled and googled but haven't found the solution. The PCmanFM homepage doesn't give any guidance either.

Can anyone please help me with my dilemma?

Kind regards

~/.pcmanfm/mime_info : stores your mime infomations

Once you choose open with another program pick the app you want to use and set it as the default.

Thanks. Could you possibly give me an example of your mime_info file? Also, my install doesn't have a ~/.pcmanfm directory. It has a ~/.config/pcmanfm directory instead with a solitary file 'main'.
