Re: Change default application for file type?

Please keep the thread on the list, unless you really intend to talk to
me privately.

So what? You did not ask (yet)...

gnome-volume-manager does this. FWIW, this is not a MIME type...

There isn't necessarily a file. Audio CDs for example do not use a file
system in the way your hard drive does.

Gnome initialization - XKB Error

Every time I enter in Gnome, I got a popup box saying that there is an
error on trying to activate XKB configuration. Once, I saw Gnome
asking if you want to use XKB or Gnome configuration, but in mine it
never apears. What file in gnome configuration keep this settings?

There are several reasons why this could happen, some of the ones I have 
seen in the past include:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp is corrupted (not a binary ELF file)
/var/lib/xkb is read-only

or more recently, (not properly debugged) but it appears that in some 
situations adding a different keyboard layout -may- cause this to 
appear.  This error is usually distribution-specific, so you should 
contact your distributions bugzilla/errata, unless you have built and 
installed Gnome yourself (jhbuild, sources, and so on)

Hopefully this is of some help,

Themes in gnome3

I think the default icons in GNOME 3 should be
gPerfection(http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=22989).Or
to be encluded in GNOME(like gorilla,glider,industrial etc.) .The
gPerfection2 Clearlooks GTK2 should be encluded too.I think the themes
witch are in GNOME by default now are very old and personaly...i don't
like them.
The author of gPerfection is William Szilveszter.Ask him and enclude
his icons in GNOME 3.
I'm not the one who wants it.

Nautilus + SVG files = crash!!

Hi

I note this in Gnome 2.8 and 2.10, Nautilus will always crash if you
browse a large directory with many svg images

for example try to download the open clip art files and browser it and
it will crash as soon as you enter any directory

is there any way to prevent that ? or at less is there any application
to browser svg files ?(not just opening one file)

Re: Nautilus + SVG files = crash!!

i suggest that a bug report be opened at http://bugzilla.gnome.org

I am able to consistently reproduce this myself. I've tried 'eog'
and 'gthumb' and they crash too :-( . i guess some rendering
library is conking.

Regards,
Raj

mini-commander and Macros

Hi,

the command line applet used to have a dozen or so predefined macros,
but it doesn't anymore, for whatever reason. So typing, for example,
"www.gnome.org" doesn't open the web browser like it used to.

Are the default macros available somewhere? I understand that they are
based on regular expressions, but for me it just sometimes seems to
work, and sometimes it doesn't. Also, is there a comprehensive
documentation, or macro examples?

Been trying and searching. No luck, or just simple stupidity. So thanks
in advance for any help!

Cheers,
Dave

Why do features disappear?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I have been a Gnome user for quite a while, and in general like it, but
I have on multiple occasions been frustrated by "upgrades" that
suddenly  remove key functionality. For example, support for viewing man
pages in the Help system was a wonderful feature that somewhere got
dropped in an "upgrade" several versions back and has never re-appeared.
Now, a new menu system is introduced, and while I applaud the effort to
support the standard, there is no tool for editing the menus. Once again
an "upgrade" that remove functionality.

Is anybody actually paying attention to this? All the nice new features
are only so cool if every time once gets added something else that WORK
gets dropped. I have been a software developer for 20 years, and I admit
to being completely and utterly baffled by this approach to releases. Is
there any kind of development principal in place about not stripping out
really useful features during development? Is there any explanation? Or
is it simply usefulness becoming a lower priority than architecture
changes or standards compliance? How many users do you lose each time
something incomprehensible like this occurs - and with NO EXPLANATION AT
ALL IN THE RELEASE NOTES. Take a look at the lists, one after another,
distro after distro, with frustrated users over the missing menu editor.
I just don't get it....
