Hi Jorge, I normally use KDE (like Dimitra), but I just switched into Gnome and did a bit of experimentation. I'm not sure if there's a GUI way of doing things, but a google search didn't seem to show it as that obvious (another reason why I'm not a big fan of Gnome). Anyway, I suggest you look at the file: ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list For me, the default was to open in LibreOffice - so there was a line in this file which looked like this: text/csv=libreoffice-calc.desktop;gedit.desktop;emacs.desktop;fedora-gvim.desktop;libreoffice-writer.desktop;kde4-kwrite.desktop;kde4-kate.desktop; If I changed it to: text/csv=gedit.desktop;libreoffice-calc.desktop;emacs.desktop;fedora-gvim.desktop;libreoffice-writer.desktop;kde4-kwrite.desktop;kde4-kate.desktop; Then file associations in both the file browser in Gnome and also in ADE XL are such that gedit is used for CSV. If I change it back to the first line (I don't have to quit Virtuoso), then LibreOffice calc is used. So I think that's what you have to do. Regards, Andrew.
