I use kde3.3 and am wondering what I need to do to launch Pagestream 4
and load a project from the projects icon.

I've set the filetype (.pgs) in konqueror's settings so that the command
'/opt/pgs/41/Run PageStream4Pro' is executed when a *.pgs icon is
clicked, this opens pagestream, but the project is not loaded.
What do I need to add to get this functionality?

Thanks

Add %U as an argument to the script. Also, the script will need a $1 argument
to PageStream. I thought I had this working before, but in setting this up I
discovered KDE didn't seem to like the space in the script name so I ended up
with the following:

Run_PageStream4
-----start-of-file------
#!/bin/bash
export PGSPATH=`dirname "$0"`
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PGSPATH/SoftLogik/lib
export PATH=$PATH:$PGSPATH
$PGSPATH/PageStream4 "$1"
exit 0
-----end-of-file------

I'm not a bash expert, but I put the $1 in quotes to avoid presumed problems
with filenames containing spaces.

Tim, your tip worked great, I created a new version of the Run
PageStream4Pro script using your example, made the script executable
and edited my filetype as you suggested.

Clicking the projects Icon now opens the project with PageStream as
hoped.

Thanks Tim for your solution to my run from icon problem.
Have a great evening!
