Re: install sweethome 3D 7.1 on Linux Elementary OS If you don't see an option "Open With" when you right-click a .sh3d file you can select "properties". This will show a window and there should be a tab with "Open With". From there on the instructions remain the same: After "Open With" you should see a list of programs. SweetHome3D should be in the list but I assume it is not because of your question. If it is check the "Remember" or "Always use this" option. If SweetHome3D is not in the list you should see an option called something like "Custom Command". After checking that you should get a button to browse to the script and select it. Of course check the "Remember" or "Always use this" option. Also use this option if SweetHome3D IS in the list but you have installed a second version in another location that you want to associate with .sh3d files. I checked this on Debian and this should work. By-the-way, don't use the option to default sweethome3d-7.1.desktop to application/zip. It can cause ALL zips to open with SweetHome3D. My described method does nothing more than associate the .sh3d extension with the SweetHome3D program, exactly what you want. By-By-the-way, It's not so much the Linux distribution that makes a difference, it is the desktop you use (Gnome, Mate, KDE, etc). Every desktop manager can handle these things in slightly different ways but they mostly work the same with sometimes little differences in how options are named. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
