The latest autopackage on the web site is setup to install
MIME types and file associations for .xar and .web, using the facilities
provided by autopackage for this. Please can people try it and email the list
to let us know if it works or not and on which distributions. Please include
version of distribution and desktop used. I’ve tried it without success on my FC4 and Ubuntu
systems but some other people have reported that it works. I’m assuming I
should be able to double-click on a XAR file on the desktop or in the file
browser and Xara LX should open the file. One of the guys at autopackage has
checked what we’re doing – he says it’s fine and that our
package works for him. Ideally we should also be showing the LX icon for these
files, but I believe the current release version of autopackage doesn’t
support that yet. Thanks Neil |
