60To alter file associations open the "File" menu and click "File
61Associations...".
62<p></p>
63To add an association, select the target file extension from the pull-down
64list, or type in a new extension (do not include the "."). Next either type
65command that launches the desired application in the appropriate field, or
66choose the application from the "Browse" dialog. "%1" can be used in the launch
67command to insert the name of the file being opened. Once these are filled out,
68"Add Association" is enabled and can be clicked to add the association.
69<p></p>
70To edit an association, select an existing file extension. Any existing
71associated command is shown in the launch command field. Edit it, and then
72click "Replace Association".
73<p></p>
74To remove an association, select an existing file extension and click "Remove Association".
75(The file extension remains in the "For Files Ending" pull-down list.)
76<p></p>
77File associations are stored in the Librarian Interface's main folder, in a file
78called "associations.xml".
