In Ubuntu 11.10, Ubuntu Software Center includes Gdebi functionality to increase the speed of .deb files installation.

How to install recommends using gdebi?
Gdebi apparently doesn't install recommend packages by default, it only installs dependencies. I tried
sudo gdebi -o="--install-recommends" package.deb
but it doesn't work.
How to install also the recommend packages using gdebi?

GDebi help please
I have installed this to deal with a .deb file.
In GDebi it takes me through to the file location, on Desktop. I highlight it and then nothing happens. GDebi remains empty and I remain at a loss.
