I know how to go to Properties on a file and set the default program with which to open that file type, but is it possible to set a default program for a certain file EXTENSION? I want to be able to open .MPO files with a Stereo Anaglyph Viewer through wine, but Ubuntu sees these as JPG-type files. So if I set the default program for MPO files, it sets JPG files to the same program....
I am suppose to make a program that cuts the extension off of a file. It uses that .ext to decide which program needs to be used to open the file. This only finds the name of the program from a list of programs I made. My problem is when it has the name of the program it needs to use, how can I make the program open the file with code in the script.

Hi there,
So I've migrated back to Ubuntu since I recently built a new desktop.
The older machine had compatibility issues with 12.04 and 12.10 so I went to pure debian squeeze for about a year or so.
Okay, so here's my issue.
I'm a Cisco Networking Academy student and we use a program called Packet Tracer for creating network simulations and whatnot.
Our project files are *.pkt extension base
Just as the title would suggest, I'm having trouble making VBA-M the default application for .gbc files. In Nautilus I've right-clicked the file and went to properties. In the "Open With" tab I click on "Show other applications" but VBA-M does not appear as a program that can be selected.
I installed wxMaxima on my laptop a few days ago.
The issue is that files with the extension .wxm, that are used with wxMaxima, are identified as a C source files. Therefore, when I double click such a file, it opens my text editor.
Okay, I have the following problem:
I have a file (.jnlp, but that isn't important) that I want to open with a certain program (javaws). Problem is that the program I want to open it with is not diosplayed in the list of programs when selecting Open with in the right-click menu.
Rumors of the return of AutoCAD to the Mac have been bolstered by screenshots posted to an Italian Mac news site and by widespread availability of a beta version.
I need to create a script that returns the default app to be used for a given file extension (including the path). I had a look at the file command which can return the mime type and xdg-open which would open a file. But what I'd like to get is
myscript doc
/usr/bin/libreoffice
.or.
myscript fun
/opt/acme/roadrunner/meepmeep
How do I do that?
