I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and FreeCAD 1.0.0.
The problem is that FCStd files are zip files, and when I associate files with the FCStd extension, they will open as zip files, or if I select FreeCAD as the associated program, it will open zip files.
How can I specify that FreeCAD open files with the FCStd extension and not zip files?
Thanks!
UPDATE
I do the following to associate FCStd files to FreeCAD.
- Right-click on the FCStd file.
- Click "Open with..."
- Click on the "Always use for this file type" toggle. I noticed it says "Zip Archive", even for FreeCAD files.
- Click on FreeCAD.
- Click on Open.
At this point, the file opens in freeCAD as expected. Here is where the issue is. If I double-click on a zip file, it opens FreeCAD and tries to open the zip file.
I then try the following:
- Right-click on the zip file.
- Click "Open with..."
- Click on the "Always use for this file type" toggle.
- Click on Files.
- Click on Open.
It opens the zip file as expected. I then double click on an FCStd file, and it upzips it.
The issue is that FCStd files should ONLY be opened by FreeCAD, not by any unzipping program.
