[Gvsig_english] Suggestion gvSIG 2.0.0.2066 -- Installation on Ubuntu does not establish file associations

[Manuel Madrid]

Hi Simon,

I could associate gvsproj files to gvSIG app in Ubuntu 10.04. Maybe it
has changed in newer versions. I made this:

1. Right click on the file within the system file manager.
2. Expand the option called "Use a custom command" and browse for the
gvSIG executable file.
3. Press on "Open".
4. gvSIG launches and the .gvsproj file extension keeps associated to
gvSIG app.

Nevertheless, gvSIG launching is not correct. It throws an error.

Thus, the problem is not the file association but to be able to load the
project file properly. I opened an issue [1].

Please, check again that you are able to associate the file extension
and let us know.

Best,
Manuel.
