How do set .deb to run with synaptic?

Question

My problem is that i can't find synaptic when I click on more programs how to set the .deb files to run with synaptic?

You might be better to install downloaded programs with gdebi --sudo apt-get install gdebi — , Oct 10 '14 at 16:29
I agree with @arochester. synaptic was not meant to be called for specific individual packages. It's purpose is to manager many changes efficiently and to provide easy sort-and-search functionality through apt. — MGodby, Oct 10 '14 at 16:57

If you want to install a .deb file you can use:

dpkg -i file.deb

But dpkg won't solve dependencies so, I would suggest you install from gdebi:

gdebi file.deb

The simplest way to change default applications for any file is using of Thunar File Manager. Open related folder and right click then choose open with, then select Synaptic and click on set as default.

I had same problem and only Thunar can solve this case easily.
