COnfiguring Program Associations
I'm currently running Fedora Core 2, and I've been having a devil of a time setting up file associations in KDE.
Essentially, I am trying to make it so that when I double click a file type, my preferred editor, viewer, or player launches with that file in hand.
I finally figured out how to do this with mp3's and XMMS. I had to go into file associations and edit the "Audio Player" association command
From:
xmms -e %F
To:
xmms -p %F
-e is apparently to queue up a file, so double clicking didn't play my .mp3, but instead just loaded it and brought up XMMS doing nothing. I changed the launch option to -p (found it in the man page for XMMS) so the file would be played.
Here is my question:
What the heck is the %F? I didn't see it in the man pages for XMMS, so I assume it must be a bash variable for the file name?
What all %x variables are there, what are they for, and where can I see a list of them for other applications when I want to configure Mimetypes?
