Okay, I have the following problem:

I have a file (.jnlp, but that isn't important) that I want to open with a certain program (javaws). The problem is that the program I want to open it with is not displayed in the list of programs when selecting "Open with" in the right-click menu.

Is there any way to simply browse files as is possible in windows? Or is there perhaps a certain command I could use?

Thanks in advance, Zarnaik

Welcome on askubuntu. In order to get useful answers here, you have to give more information or be more precise in your formulation: 1) from which program do you want to open the file (nautilus, dash, firefox, chrome, ...) 2)what do you mean by "simply browse as is possible in windows"? I really have no clue what you mean by this? 3) What do you mean by "command I could use"? Command from where? To do what? – xubuntix Oct 20 '12 at 13:11
