<h1>File Associations</h1> This module allows you to choose which applications are associated with a given type of file. File types are also referred to MIME types (MIME is an acronym which stands for "Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions".)<p> A file association consists of the following: <ul><li>Rules for determining the MIME-type of a file, for example the filename pattern *.kwd, which means 'all files with names that end in .kwd', is associated with the MIME type "x-kword";</li> <li>A short description of the MIME-type, for example the description of the MIME type "x-kword" is simply 'KWord document';</li> <li>An icon to be used for displaying files of the given MIME-type, so that you can easily identify the type of file in, say, a Konqueror view (at least for the types you use often);</li> <li>A list of the applications which can be used to open files of the given MIME-type -- if more than one application can be used then the list is ordered by priority.</li></ul> You may be surprised to find that some MIME types have no associated filename patterns; in these cases, Konqueror is able to determine the MIME-type by directly examining the contents of the file.
