One extra note as Dimitra and I were discussing this. In Gnome (at least the version I was using on RHEL6.5 - I didn't check the version number) allows you to use the file browser and then over the file use Right Mouse->Properties, and then on the Open With tab, you can set the application to open with and it remembers it (it writes to the mimeapps.list file above). On older Gnome (RHEL5.something) it wrote to defaults.list in the same directory - so that mechanism has changed. However, Dimitra was seeing some inconsistency - some documents folders in ADE (on a different file system) still opened with Firefox for her. We couldn't see why. Anyway, I can say that ADE doesn't have its own mechanism for associating file types - it's entirely done through the OS. My guess is that something is not identifying the file type correctly in some situations - we don't know why though. Regards, Andrew.
