When you display a file in the view pane, the side pane might contain buttons. Figure 7–2 shows the buttons in the side pane when a text file is displayed in the view pane.
The buttons represent any actions that are defined in the File
Associations
preference tool. The actions are defined in
the Default action drop-down list in the Edit
file type dialog in the File
Associations
preference tool. Click on a button to execute
an action. For example, if an action defined for plain text documents is to
open the file in the gedit
text editor. If this
action is defined, an Open with gedit button is displayed
in the side pane. To open the file in the gedit
application, click on the Open with gedit button.
A button that represents the action does not appear in the side pane if the actions are excluded in either of the following dialogs:
