Setting predetermined programs in Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 (SOLVED)

#1 Post by rincon155 »

I installed SoftMaker 2008 in order to obtain a light .ppt program, but because its suit includes a word processor an a spreadsheet now my Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 has these as preferred options.
I would like to have Abiword and Gnumeric as my predetermined programs, but can't find the option to make the change.
How can I do it?

Opent as text /usr/local/bin/defaultwordprocessor
and replace second line with:

Code: Select all

exec abiword "$@"
Do the same with /usr/local/bin/defaultspreadsheet

Code: Select all

exec gnumeric "$@"
Or, download defaults-chooser-0.8.pet
Much easier way :)

Will defaults-chooser-0.8.pet work in LightHouse 64 5.14-B4 Mariner? Thank you
