How do you set an application as the default?

thanks, i’ll look into that tomorrow, going to get away from computers & watch a movie now…
I’ll definitely look at that though, as pcmanfm has got some things in it that i like. i’m used to using a dual panel filemanager, so it is just how my brain is happiest to think these days.

I would like to be able to double click on a video file & have it open up in my preffered player.

Works in Dolphin here.

I get that people use what they know, and have been using for decades. But don’t you give up some useful features like BFS attributes, and the whole integration of queries, drill-down navigation, type-ahead filtering, Tracker add-ons… ?

I am probably missing out on most of that stuff, myself. Back in the '90s I guess I tried the Query thing out a time or two, and didn’t immediately see anything in it for me, so files have been living in UNIX world. I suspect the potential benefit depends a lot on the variety of files and application you use.
