Open in TheBrain

Changing Default Applications (Linux)

<P>From the attached forum post by Moe.</P>

<P>&nbsp;</P>

<P>The commands used to open various file associations can be modified by editing the text file "DefaultUnixCommands.properties" located&nbsp;&nbsp;in the "PersonalBrain/res" folder. If this file does not exist, create it using an editor. Each line should start with an extension, then an equals sign, and then the commands that should be used to open it in order of preference.</P>

<P>To change the default browser, edit the order of the commands for the htm and html extensions. The default values are:</P>

<P><CODE>html=firefox,opera,konqueror,epiphany,quanta,mozilla,netscape
htm=firefox,opera,konqueror,epiphany,quanta,mozilla,netscape</CODE></P>

<P>To make konqueror the default browser, this can be changed to:</P>

<P><CODE>html=konqueror,firefox,opera,epiphany,quanta,mozilla,netscape
htm=konqueror,firefox,opera,epiphany,quanta,mozilla,netscape</CODE></P>

<P>Note that PersonalBrain will use the first application in the list that is available and ignores all of the others in the line. So, you could also make this simpler and just write:</P>

<P><CODE>html=konqueror
htm=konqueror</CODE></P>

<P>But if you ever uninstalled konqueror, Web pages would fail to open at all.</P>
