Hi everyone,
I bought an old PC and installed AntiX on it. -I love how AntiX installs and performs well on older machines!

Question: I have more luck with Libreoffice for spreadsheets than Gnumeric. My problem is that the default image viewer for the links in my spreadsheet is Feh.
Now, I understand that Feh controls the wallpaper setting (at least in my startup session, which I believe is IceWM).

The problem is that Feh doesn't seem to allow scrolling through images in a directory, which is what I need to do when I open a link in my spreadsheet.
Geeqie works fine for this, but I can't seem to set it as the default in Libreoffice, but only for the Thunar file manager.

Anyone know where I need to make the right modification?

Thanks in advance for any input.

Compliments on AntiX! __{{emoticon}}__

Bump..


Also, I have problems with my built-in Cd player on my laptop, also using M11. If I insert an audio CD, I can open files in Thunar and copy them to the HDD; and I can play the audio CD with VLC.
BUT, I cannot eject it in Thunar! It gives me a"permission denied" message.

If I insert a non-audio CD, I cannot open it at all.

You can change the default viewer for the extension of the image file eg: .jpg .png etc. by doing this:

-right click on the image filename.
-select"open with another program"
-select (highlight) your desired default application
-select the"Set selected application to default action" box
-select the"OK" box to save

You will have to do this for each extension individually but I think it will get you what you want to accomplish.

Hi afab4,
I did as you suggested before I started this thread. The only thing it changed was how Thunar opens the images. But LibreOffice still opens the images (jpg in my case) with Feh.

I could remove Feh, but I think that would create problems with setting up my wallpaper.

Oddly, as I have 2 computers using AntiX, one works fine, with LibreOffice opening images in Geeqie. But it's the other computer that apparently has a different default somewhere, but I can't find out what.

I solved it!
I installed GPicView, opened it, clicked on preferences, and selected it as default. Now it opens images in LibreOffice by default.
