Komodo Edit - Not in the "Open With" menu

[liam1412]

Hi All

I'm new here and am practically new to Linux. As a web developer, I decided it was time to lose my reliance on Windows and have for the time being installed Dual Boot Win7/Linux Mint.

I am afraid I will be bugging you all a lot till I get to grips as apart from some simple commands on a Web Hosting server I really have done nothing.

Any How here is question number 1

I have installed Komodo Edit 7 manually as it isn't available in the apt-get repository. I want to be able to right click files and "open with" Komodo Edit for PHP/CSS/Javascript/HTML/XML files and whatever else I may use in the course of my work. I have searched google and found solutions that involve creating a .desktop file but I just can't get it to appear in the list of programs that I can open with. Any help on this would be much appreciated. I can give back in terms of development help etc.

Many Thanks

Just to update

Komodo Editor places the .desktop file on the desktop. So I did

Code: Select all

sudo cp /home/liam/Desktop/komodo-edit-7.desktop /usr/share/applications/komodo-edit-7.desktop

to copy it to the correct folder and it is now available in the "Open With" menu
