Setting to default photo view program (Linux)

[z915374]

hi, I'm new here

I have download a XnViewMP to my laptop

but how can i set this program to my default photo viewer ?

I'm using a ubuntu 8.10.

I edited the xnview.sh file like this, and changed the path

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
cd /home/ray/Program/XnViewMP
./xnview

when i open the photo, the program is worked, but it can't open the picture file.

How can i edit the xnview.sh ?

when i open the photo, the program is worked, but it can't open the picture file.

I was able to launch into image view by editing .bashrc (as normal user). The experiment:
1. Added path information to .bashrc

Code: Select all

#Include path to testing libraries
#
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/username/foldername ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 

2. Logged out so change would take effect.
3. To avoid conflicts with existing QT4 application on system, I erased the following links in program folder:
libQtCore.so.4 and libQtGui.so.4
4. Using nautilus file manager options, added the program to list of choices

I can't find .bashrc file in the root folder but I just find these files

/etc/bash.bashrc
/usr/share/base-files/dot.bashrc
/usr/share/doc/adduser/examples/adduser.local.conf.examples/bash.bashrc
/usr/share/doc/adduser/examples/adduser.local.conf.examples/skel/dot.bashrc

I was try to edit the 1st and 2nd files but there is no effect.

If it is there, it will be hidden in the home user directory. Any good file manager will have option to display them <ctrl + h>. Tests can be made without using any root, super-user/sudo commands.
