Customizable "open with 'x'" feature for user defined file extensions in tree browser #789
Conversation
|
Do we want to add "Open with XY" for many different tools here? Maybe a more generic approach like using "xdg-open" with a generic "Open" action is the better way? |
"Open Externally" or such then, because I would expect the first action is to open it in Geany 😄 -- well, for text files at least. |
|
I thought glade is in gnome ecosystem and it deserves a special action for opening glade files. Such as, intellij has "open in scenebuilder" feature for *.fxml files of javafx. |
|
Glade may be in the Gnome ecosystem, but Geany is not. Geany is a somewhat portable application that uses GTK. |
|
Ok guys. I agrree with you more generic approach would fit a wide range of requirements. Please forgive my ignorance daring a pull request for this. I am new to all gtk stuff, and I could not find a customizable behavior for opening those files using glade within geany. I know treebrowser has this: executable "%f", however It sets opening action for all extension types. May be it is my fault to unable to discover a pre-existing feature. I am open to get informed. |

Now, users can associate files with any executable like: |
treebrowser/src/treebrowser.c

The first default here seems unusual...

@LarsGit223 : Yes, please go for it. I almost forgot that I did this PR a while ago. I am not sure what to do, I am not an expert on git system. Please tell me if you need me to do something. |
Treebrowser has "open with glade" feature for .ui and .glade files in this fork. Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bit and Windows 10 64bit (msys - mingw64).
