Hi,
I'm trying to change the rox run action so images open in XNview. XNview works great standalone. Tried right click > run action and changed to xnview. Now when i click BlaBla.jpg XNview opens but the image variable is lost in the shuffle.
Now the run action line only shows the variable with no program name. I tried to change it back to mpaint with no luck.
Lots of reading, poking, proding, clicking and scrolling has not fixed it. Any ideas sure would be great.
Thanks,
1ColdBeer

you should be able to right click any jpg, click Set Run Action, and either type in mtpaint so it looks like mtpaint "$1", or find mtpaint in /usr (you can type rox -s `which mtpaint` and drag it to the Set Run Action window
i usually set the rox Run Action for jpgs, gifs, and pngs to xli, because usually i just want to look at the picture ... if i want to open it with mtpaint, i usually use Send To

# echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/my-applications/bin
#
So create a symlink in one of the folders, that is in the PATH:
# ln -s /root/my-roxapps/XnView/bin/xnview /root/my-applications/bin/xnview
Now you have a new entry /root/my-applications/bin/xnview that is in the PATH.
It does not waste space, as it is just a link, not a copy.

Hi,
Thanks to all for thhe help,

I gave symlink a try and it was a no go too. It does what i want now with the full path in the box so I'll run with that and be happy.MU wrote: So create a symlink in one of the folders, that is in the PATH:

Oh, I see...
just installed it.
there is already a symlink /usr/bin/xnview, but it has a path-error.
Replace it with this shellscript:
Don't forget to make it executable:
chmod 755 /usr/bin/xnview
And delete the symlink from my first answer.
