Anyone know of a way to make a double-click on a file in the Finder open with an X11 application.
For instance: I have a .ps file, I locate it in Finder double-click on it an it opens in gv in X11. /Bishop |

Clickable Application!
Whooo! I just got crazy!
Create a file Mozilla.app/Contents/MacOS/Mozilla containing Code:
#!/bin/sh DISPLAY=:0.0 /sw/bin/Mozilla YES this actually WORKS! Will try setting a html file to open with it. Back soon Willy |

No Luck
I can't get Get Info to associate a file to open with the Mozilla.app.
It goes thru the motions and then defaults to IE. Maybe a little more playing with the script? Maybe some stuff in a resources folder? At least I have a Clickable application!!! Merv Do you have any insight to what still needs to be done to get the file name feed to the X11 apps? slightly grumpy mostly estatic Willy |

Well here is a solution to the problem, maybe not the best one but it WORKS and you can double-click documents associated with an X11 application and have them open!

Open Office (at openoffice.org) uses double-clickable AppleScripts to activate X11 and then open the application.

Yes, I'm aware of this, but can you open DOCUMENTS by double-clicking on them?

XL works but...
After clicking on 3 .xpm files I had 3 instances of the gimp running. Whereas if I open 3 files in the gimp I would just have 3 windows showing files. Still pretty neat tho. Excelent alpha as far as it goes. Maybe Daniel Arno should open source it. It could become an XonX staple.

Open source
I just might do that :-)
I'm not sure if there really is a demand for this feature but I sure find it useful, also releasing it under GPL might make it possible for someone to solve the 3 gimps open problem which I have no idea how to solve. Is there a demand for this feature? Actually I don't know how well it would fit into the XonX project since it is written in java[tm] (how's that for integration, launching X11 apps on MacOS X using java[tm]?) but then again maybe some use could come out of it.

Opening files in an already running gimp
As talked about on the XonX forums there actually is a way of having files open in an already running gimp, do a
Code:
man gimp-remote |
