[SOLVED] How to set default "Open with" application?

[ixoye777]

I installed a couple of new media players to play music and video files. By default my MP3's would open with Amarok (which I liked), now they open with a media player I do not like. How do I set it back to Amarok?

Also, if there is a generic proccess to set file associations that is different then the sepcific question I just asked can you give me that answer as well?

Thanks.

You want to use Control Center (not System Settings) and look for KDE Components > File Associations.

Control Center should be under Settings in the Actions section of your K Menu. If it's not, you can enable it by right clicking on your kicker panel, selecting Configure Panel... then going to Menu and selecting Settings in the box labeled Optional Menus.

It's wrong, as you were right I just wanted to add what I would call a shortcut of sorts.

I saw that when I checked the thread, I just know you know a lot more than me, so I worry that I'm being corrected if you reply right after me. :P

Anyone who insists they have nothing more to learn is a moron of the highest degree. You know a lot and that makes you awesome.

I suppose modesty requires you to under sell yourself, but I'm also a very strong believer that reality is a matter of perspective. I'll stick with awesome. *shrug*
