Title: Changing default tools
Post by: nasty on December 20, 2005, 10:11:20 AM

Hey guys

Is it possible to change the default tools? for example I would like AMP2 as my default video player, instead of action on 3.9.  But I find myself having to change each video to open with AMP2 so is there away I can just tell 3.9 to open all videos with AMP2?

Run Prefs/DefIcons, search the file type of your videos and double click it. An information window for the default icon should appear where you can change the default tool.

Bye,
Thomas

Does changing the default tool for def_#?.info have the same effect?

As I said, if you double click on a file type in deficons prefs, the information window for the default icon is opened. In other words, it opens envarc:sys/def_#?.info. So yes, no matter if you search the icon manually or let DefIcons do it for you, it's the same action, so it has to have the same effect.
