Re: Another problem about launching external applications

I tried the following (not sure I understood what you asked me to do)

in /tmp

opera --personaldir TEST
close opera
open operaprefs.ini in TEST

add at the end the lines
[File Types]
audio/mp3=7,xterm -e mplayer,,,mp3,|

then opera  --personaldir TEST again
I observe the same behaviour
the dialog box is opened and it proposes me to use xterm -e mplayer,
commands that seems to be used.
