59To alter file associations open the "File" menu and click "File
60Associations...".
61<p></p>
62To add an association, select the target file extension from the pull-down
63list, or type in a new extension (do not include the "."). Next either type
64command that launches the desired application in the appropriate field, or
65choose the application from the "Browse" dialog. "%1" can be used in the launch
66command to insert the name of the file being opened. Once these are filled out,
67"Add Association" is enabled and can be clicked to add the association.
68<p></p>
69To edit an association, select an existing file extension. Any existing
70associated command is shown in the launch command field. Edit it, and then
71click "Replace Association".
72<p></p>
73To remove an association, select an existing file extension and click "Remove Association".
74(The file extension remains in the "For Files Ending" pull-down list.)
75<p></p>
76File associations are stored in the Librarian Interface's main folder, in a file
77called "associations.xml".
