Title: How do you create a default tool?
Post by: dougal on January 23, 2012, 11:32:08 AM

As the title says. I have amplifier (copied from os3.9 cd) on my Work partition. I would like that when i click on an MP3 file it will load it up automatically instead of "the icon(s) has no default tool".

How do i do that ?

Running WB3.1

You need something like DefIcons.

Without something like Deficons, your only option is to create project icon files for your mp3 files and make set their default tool to amplifier. In reality, you just need to do this once and copy/rename the .info file from the original.

There was a clone of deficons on aminet but its for 3.5. I'm gonna upgrade to os3.9 since i have the cd.

DefIcons for 3.1 is contained in the NewIcons archive.
