How To Make KDE Run Gambas Executables Automatically
Note:
$YOURKDE
is the installation directory of KDE in your system.
In my Slackware 10.0 it is
/opt/kde
. To know yours just type in a console:
1. Creates a MIME type for Gambas executable
Create the text file
$YOURKDE/share/mimelnk/application/x-gambas.desktop
.
Open it and add these lines:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Comment=Gambas executable
Icon=binary
Type=MimeType
MimeType=application/x-gambas
2. Creates a desktop file for the interpreter
Creates the text file
$YOURKDE/share/applnk/.hidden/gbr2.desktop
. Notice the
dot before hidden.
Open it and add these lines:
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=gbr2
InitialPreference=1
MimeType=application/x-gambas
Name=gbr2
Terminal=false
Type=Application
3. Adds Gambas executables description to the KDE magic file
The next file already exists!!! You just have to edit it... Be
careful!
Edit the file
$YOURKDE/share/mimelnk/magic
and add this line:
0 string #!/usr/bin/gbr3 application/x-gambas
That's all.
Restart your kde session. The Gambas executables
will have the generic icon "binary" and you will be able
to run them by just clicking on them.
