+<Text id="0291b"><b>Note:</b> On unix systems, such as Ubuntu and Mac, Greenstone may not be set up out of the box to launch the default application associated with many file extensions. To be able to double click on a document in GLI and have it open in the associated application you would need to enter the preferred applications to launch various file formats through the GLI <Path>File &rarr; File Associations</Path> menu's <AutoText text="Edit File Associations"/> dialog, where you would set the <AutoText text="Launch Command"/> field to a preferred application to associate with a file extension followed by <Format>%1</Format>.</Text>
+<Text id="0291c">If you prefer to use the system default application to open a file format in, Google for the default file open command for your unix operating system (e.g it's <i>xdg-open</i> on Ubuntu, and <i>open</i> on Mac) and enter this in GLI's <AutoText text="Edit File Associations"/> dialog as follows: click on a file extension to select it, then you will be able to set the value in the <AutoText text="Launch Command"/> field for it. In this field, enter the default file open command for the operating system you found, followed by <i>%1</i>. e.g on Ubuntu you would enter the Command <Format>xdg-open %1</Format> as <AutoText text="Launch Command"/> for each file extension listed. Whereas on Mac, you would enter <Format>open %1</Format> for each file extension. Finally, press the <AutoText text="Add"/> button to set the <b>Command</b> column's value for that extension. Move on to the next file extension you want to set the <AutoText text="Launch Command"/> for, and repeat. If the file extension you want to set the default viewing application for isn't listed, enter the new file extension in the field labelled <AutoText text="for fields ending"/>, then type its <AutoText text="Launch Command"/> value (e.g. <Format>open %1</Format> on a Mac) as before, and press the <AutoText text="Add"/> button again.</Text>
