To Execute Other Actions When Displaying a File
When you display a file in the view pane, the side pane might contain buttons. Figure 7–2 shows the side pane when a text file is displayed in the view pane.
Figure 7–2 Side Pane When a File is Displayed in the View Pane
The buttons represent any actions that are defined in the File Types and Programs preference tool. The actions are defined
in the Default action drop-down list in the Edit file type dialog in the File Types and Programs 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 gedit. 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.
Note –
A button that represents the action does not appear in the side pane if the actions are excluded in either of the following dialogs:
