Shortcuts for taskbar
Hey lads and ladettes, I am pretty noo to this whole linux thing, except for a brief crack at redhat 7.1(that long ago;)I haven't had much to do with it. Done plenty of windoze crashing tho..I think I have crashed windows more, and harder, than anyone I have met so far, lol...
What I need to know is this: I have a text doc for phone#'s and addresses that I keep a shortcut to on my taskbar in windoze. I tried to do the same in linux, but it didn't have quite the desired results..It asked for extra command line parameters/options, which I can only assume would be to tell it what to use to open the file. Is this just a matter of file associations or is there more to it?
So, how? I'm sure I could find it in the linux cookbook, but then, that's what this site is for eh?;)
Thanks in advance doods!!
RE: shortcuts for taskbar
From the info you gave it appears your on the right track.
For the command line option give it the application to use and the full path to the file to open.
Such as ......
kwrite /home/tiggre65/address.txtto open it with kwrite or
gedit /home/tiggre65/address.txtto open with gedit. Or same format for any other application you prefer.
Hope this helps.
