How do I make .rtf files be displayed by default instead of being prompted to run or display?












0















It says "No such file or directory" below. How can I fix the problem?
I want all .rtf files displayed automatically by default. Here, "by default" means the files will be directly opened and displayed when I double-click on them without having to answer the question "Do you want to run XXXXX.rtf or display its contents?" I will never run .rtf files or edit them in a graphic environment. I have run chmod -x /media/matthew/Device/Testing.rtf, but the following dialog box still appears when I double-click on the file.



enter image description here



matthew@matthew-pc:~$ chmod -x /media/matthew/Device/*.rtf 
chmod: cannot access '/media/matthew/Device/*.rtf': No such file or directory
matthew@matthew-pc:~$ cd /media/matthew/Device/
matthew@matthew-pc:/media/matthew/Device$


matthew@matthew-pc:~$ chmod -x /media/matthew/Device/Testing.rtf
matthew@matthew-pc:~$ ls -l /media/matthew/Device

  • And also there are no files ending with rtf, what do you want to access then?

  • All .rtf files are inside folders.
