    <desc>Open files using an application that isn’t the default one for that

    type of file. You can change the default too.</desc>

When you double-click (or middle-click) a file in the file manager, it

  will be opened with the default application for that file type. You can open

  it in a different application, search online for applications, or set the

  default application for all files of the same type.

  
To open a file with an application other than the default, right-click

  the file and select the application you want from the top of the menu. If

  you do not see the application you want, select <gui>Open With Other

  Application</gui>. By default, the file manager only shows applications that

  are known to handle the file. To look through all the applications on your

  computer, click <gui>View All Applications</gui>.

If you still cannot find the application you want, you can search for

more applications by clicking <gui>Find New Applications</gui>. The

file manager will search online for packages containing applications

that are known to handle files of that type.

You can change the default application that is used to open files of a

  given type. This will allow you to open your preferred application when you

  double-click to open a file. For example, you might want your favorite music

  player to open when you double-click an MP3 file.

  <steps>

    <item>
Select a file of the type whose default application you want to

    change. For example, to change which application is used to open MP3 files,

    select a <file>.mp3</file> file.
</item>

    <item>
Right-click the file and select <gui>Properties</gui>.
</item>

    <item>
<gui>ਇਸ ਨਾਲ ਖੋਲ੍ਹੋ</gui> ਟੈਬ ਚੁਣੋ।
</item>

    <item>
Select the application you want and click

    <gui>Set as default</gui>.

    
If <gui>Other Applications</gui> contains an application you sometimes

    want to use, but do not want to make the default, select that application

    and click <gui>Add</gui>. This will add it to <gui>Recommended

    Applications</gui>. You will then be able to use this application by

    right-clicking the file and selecting it from the list.
</item>

  </steps>

  
This changes the default application not just for the selected file,

  but for all files with the same type.
