How to associate file types with Sublime Text 2? have downloaded Sublime Text 2. I've unpacked it in /opt/Sublime Text 2/ directory.

Now I want to open all .conf files with ST2. But I can't set this easily. Xubuntu doesn't offer ST2 in the list of Open With programs.

I do:

right-click on the fonts.conf >> Properties... >> Open With >> Other Application.

And an Open With window appears. And it doesn't have ST2 application.

How either to add ST2 to the Open With list or how to associate a file with ST2?

I found this way. And without any command line typing, which is good.

In "File Manager" right click on a file (e.g. file.conf) you want to be opened by Sublime Text 2 (or any other application).

Choose "Properties". A window titled file.conf - Properties should appear.

In its tab "General" click "Open With:" and then choose "Other Application...". A window titled Open With should appear.

At the bottom of this window select "Use a custom command:" option and then "Browse...".

The most important part now: before click Ok put the selected path into double quotes, e.g.:

"/opt/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text"

because otherwise it cannot accept the path .
