I added a new mime file to both these paths:
/root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-types/application_conf
/root/Choices/MIME-types/application_conf

The file: " application_conf " has this in it:
Code:
#! /bin/sh
exec confpath "$1"


I want a file with extension ".conf " to run the script: /root/my-applications/bin/confpath

Typing aaa.conf into rxvt just gives the error:
bash: aaa.conf: command not found

So the mime type for the file extension isn`t picking it up properly.
I found the file: /etc/mime.types , but it`s for the apache web server.

I`ve tried to change default mime handling in the past with no luck.
Can anyone tell me how to make the mime system work?

you need to add it to /usr/share/mime/globs or /usr/share/mime/globs2

Thanks ttuuxxx; I thought there had to be another file that listed the extensions.
Barry`s note says not to edit the file, but I did anyway ( made a backup ).
It still didn`t work but I assume I have to reboot, tomorrow my PC will be free...

Well I have had xfilemount in puppy 2 for ever Smile but gave it a revamp so now handles spaces in names and paths, unmounts regardless of path depth, added reiserfs image files, opens qemu images and unpacks and packs initrd.gz's ok...oh and works correctly on full installs too (no loops devices on there)...so wanted to pass a few things onto puppy 4.
I had a week of scripting and gtkdialog Laughing ...just blame the snow.
