kwlam Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I am using mandriva 2005 with opera. Every time, if I want to open a doc, exl or pdf document from the web, I need to download it to the harddisk and then open it with appropriate software. Can it be done automatically just like windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 actually. in windows, you just have'nt notice it (specially if the file is that not that big), but you actually downloaded it on your hardidisk before the application opened it, somewhere on a temp folder, same as with linux, even if you have'nt ask to save it and instead open it directly by a particular applic., it still being downloaded on your temp folder under home/user. . well, to open it directly, you have to associate it on the particular applications, like doc, it should be associated with openoffice.. but im using windows right now, so I cant be specific. on how to do it on linux :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwlam Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Can anybody tell me how to do it in linux? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 In Opera, under preferences/advanced/plugin options you can set the addons for Acroread, Flash, etc. Usually pointing to the already existing Mozilla plugins is enough ( it's a folder like /usr/mozilla/lib/plugins - it can be different from one distro to the other ).
