Re: Categories You get the archive manager because a .sh3f file is a zip file and your file manager recognizes it as such and thus opens it as normal zip archive... with an archive application. So you have to link the .sh3f extension to the script file for the Library Furniture Editor. I don't know what distribution/desktop you use but with the Caja filemanager of my Mate desktop on Debian I right click a .sh3f file and choose "Open with other application". In the dialog I get I can choose "Other application" with a button to browse to the script file and select that. I check the checkbox "Remember ..." and done. From that point on if I double-click a .sh3f file it runs the script with the .sh3f file as the $1 parameter in the script file. The result is that it starts the editor with the selected library file. On your systen the proces to link and extension might be different so you will have too look that up. A word of warning: depending on your system re-linking to the script might cause ALL zip files to be rerouted to the script if you choose to set the link permanently. Usually you can right click on any file to choose "Open with". Once you have used the script once as an alternative by browsing to it, it should be one of the alternatives presented on a right click on the file. On my system I have the .sh3d extension linked to the Sweet Home 3D 7.1 version script and I use the right-click nethod for libraries. Thus I can still open the libraries as a normal zip with the double click (which until the new beta was often needed to edit the properties file in the .sh3f) AND with the right click I can select between multiple scripts for different versions of the Library Editor. So you can start by testing this way: Right click the .sh3f file and choose "Open with" Browse to the script file and select that file. This should open the editor with the selected file (if you didn't remove the open "$1" string) ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
