Does anyone know how to set gpicview as default picture viewer in lxde?

Hello,

I think something like this is what you need to do.


xdg-mime default gpicview.desktop `grep ‘MimeType=’ /usr/share/applications/gpicview.desktop | sed -e ’s/.*=//’ -e ’s/;/ /g’`

Just back.Well,it should,at least that's what I found googling on it,but it doesn't.The mime type can't be found (some problem with xdg-mime).For some reason,can't seem to set default progs.Gave minimal/lxde a try on an old pc and I've got an lxde session option on my main.Same results.Perhaps the iso is a bit corrupted.I'll burn another one and see what it gives.On my main using minimal ubuntu with an lxde session though,so that cannot be a iso problemIt's a petty though,that for a leightweight like lxde,takes a bunch of configuring to make it work.(default progs,desktop icons etc...).In the mean time,I'll consider the thread closed.Thanks for the tip.
Kind regards,J.

just right click on the pic-> open with-> open with another program, then select the program & check the box.

Kerry?That's a gimp job,wright?Lol.Wish it were that simple,but don't have that option.Checked the other pc.Take a look.

And trying to set it in gpic's settings doesn't work either.

i don't know what to tell you, i have that option for everything, files, shells scripts, configs, etc...

Well,stuck in the same don't-know-what-to-say.Works in every windowmanager,filemanager,whatever manager.......but not in lxde.This is the latest release (as far as I know),perhaps there's something missing,I don't know.
Wouldn't bother too much though,I'll live.Anyhow,thanks for the replies.
Kind regards,J.
