I need tecplot360 to open .plt files, and after I install it on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, the software didn't show in the 'open with' lists, After I add 'Tec 360' to 'open with' lists(according to Nautilus's 'open with' list), I find all my text files (such as .txt, .dat etc) would automatically open with tecplot360. I just want tecplot360 only link with .plt files, how? Thanks.

    It probably thinks that the file is a text file, so opens all text files in tecplot360. If you create a mimetype for the file (replacing 'foobar' with tecplot360-file, and .foo with '.plt', or something like that), you should be able to set tecplot as the default app to open those files. – Wilf Jun 07 '15 at 09:40
  • @Wilf Thanks a lot. And I also linked other files like '.lay' and '.lpk' with Tecplot by creating different 'application-tec360-XX.xml' files. :) – Bopng Ma Jun 08 '15 at 14:45
