[X2go-dev] Extra functions requested in x2go

[Dick Kniep]

 Hi list,

 

Thanks for the replies. They are helpful.

 

To explain a little further:

 

We have a Linux application written in wxPython with Postgresql and (mostly) Windows clients. 

 

Goglobal gives us the possibility to export a file to the client and subsequently start the file. The mime type of the file determines which program is started on the client.

 

In the client a trigger should start the application with the file that is passed.

I know GoGlobal but I don't understand your question completely. Are you
talking about a Windows client what shows a Linux application?  Or are
you using GoGlobal for a Windows application in a Linux environment?

I am sure Heinz or Oleksandr can help you if you want to pay something
for development of OSS.

But I wonder this is a problem, maybe you can tell a bit more about it.
Normally you can do this kind of things with a .desktop-file in
/usr/share/applications.

There are some problems with the latest openoffice from backports, this
command will help:

update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications

This is not X2go related.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
