    When I want a picture displayed it doublesclick to showgirls browser.
    I am also able to menu to showgirls no browser and FXpaint and multiview.
    How can I change the doubleclick from showgirls browser too no browser or multiview?
    So set priority?
    I can see it is highlightened in the mimetypes window.
    But how too change?

    You can edit your filetype in MOSSYS:Ambient/filetypes/image/jpeg, and swap the DoubleClick and one of the Menu options in the file with a simple text editor.

    And what about changing it with mime editor instead of hacking directly filetype descriptor? :)

    There is no file in morhphos:ambient/ called filetypes.
    How can I alter it in the mimeeditor?
    Is this the pref setting in Ambientsettings mimetypes??
    When I fiddle around too much there peg freezes.
    Please help

    [filetype image/jpeg]

    > There is no file in morhphos:ambient/ called filetypes.

    - The Filetypes (Actions/Events) can be found in "SYS:Prefs/Ambient/Filetypes/".

    - The Filetypes descriptions can be found in "MOSSYS:Ambient/recognition.db". (images/jpeg exists also)
    Warning: Never modify recognition.db!
    (Descriptions can overwrite and also new create in/with the "SYS:Prefs/Ambient/Filetypes/", but not with the filetypeeditor. And /But this is very very rare necessary.)


    1.) There is one default Filetype for _all_ images as "images/default" in me Filetypes Packet. (You used it.)

    You can with the filetypeeditor here (DoubleClick in ambient-settings/mime on "images", not at subtypes) modify "Event Type(s)" for _all_ images.


    2.) For modify only Filetype "jpeg", you must make a Filetype "images/jpeg":

    a) Copy Filetype "image/default" and rename as "image/jpeg".

    b) You must also edit in this new Filetype the Line:

    "Type image/*"

    to

    "Type image/jpeg"

    c) Now you can modify here ("images/jpeg") only for jpeg the "Event Type(s)" with the filetypeeditor.


    See to modify "Event Type" also the Thread "New Ambient Version MimeTypes!!!"

    Point 2.) "To modify doubleclick action ..."


    (3. You can also create a "new" filetype (actions/events only) in filetypeeditor (if the description allready exists in recognition.db and is listed in filetypeeditor), but then you must also new create all actions/events for this filetype. But modify a similar type is easily than new create.)

    For any existing type (from recognition.db or custom), there's no need to deal directly with filetype descriptors at all.

    So in the case of "image/jpeg", from a clean ambient install, you just need to edit image/jpeg node and add own actions to that mimetype. That will override default actions set by "image/*"


    @amiga4001
    how do you manage to freeze it?
