And you'll have to decide how to handle it, as there's no predefined program for it. NB: Predefining something to always handle unknown binary can be a bad move, depending on what you pick. For instance, you wouldn't want mplayer to deal with all of them. At some stage, one of the files you gave it mightn't be an undescribed multi-media file, but something completely different. > -- it appears when I mouse over a .php file icon in my KDE Desktop and I > am clueless as to what I'm supposed to do with it to fix it. Not using KDE, and not really touching PHP, I'm not sure what you might want to do with PHP files by default. Perhaps open them in a text editor? -- (Currently running FC4, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
