To make non-rox apps aware of rox-apps, I suggest adding a directory 'share/applications' to ROX-Defauts, with .desktop-files for some rox-apps and a defaults.list, which specifies default apps for file-types, i.e. Archive for archives, rox-filer for folders, etc. So for example, firefox will offer to open a .tgz with Archive and open the Downloads folder in rox-filer. The following line would have to be added to the ROX-Session interface: <environment default="/usr/share" insert="share" name="XDG_DATA_DIRS"/> I've uploaded a modified version of ROX-Defaults here: ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/rox4debian/ROX-Defaults-0.1-dt1.tgz |

That's excellent! I've updated ROX-Defaults and ROX-Session to use your version... -- Dr Thomas Leonard http://rox.sourceforge.net GPG: 9242 9807 C985 3C07 44A6 8B9A AE07 8280 59A5 3CC1 |

Another resend. Changing from mailhop.org to my ISP's smtp server seems to have fixed it.

The Name entry should then also say "ROX". So it could be reduced to just one .desktop file for rox-filer. However, there'd be no indication which app will be used. |

You could make the name generic like 'Archive Handler' or something. |
