Here is my openwith settings:

(require 'openwith)
(setq openwith-associations '(("\\.mov\\'" "smplayer" (file))))
(openwith-mode t)

When I press enter in dired mode on a .mov file, it still open it in a text buffer.

Any more settings required here?

This is the way I've set openwith

; Openwith
(openwith-mode t)
(setq openwith-associations
      (list (list (openwith-make-extension-regexp '("pdf"))
                  "evince" '(file))
            (list (openwith-make-extension-regexp '("flac" "mp3" "wav"))
                  "vlc" '(file))
            (list (openwith-make-extension-regexp '("avi" "flv" "mov" "mp4"
                                                    "mpeg" "mpg" "ogg" "wmv"))
                  "vlc" '(file))
            (list (openwith-make-extension-regexp '("bmp" "jpeg" "jpg" "png"))
                  "ristretto" '(file))
            (list (openwith-make-extension-regexp '("doc" "docx" "odt"))
                  "libreoffice" '("--writer" file))
            (list (openwith-make-extension-regexp '("ods" "xls" "xlsx"))
                  "libreoffice" '("--calc" file))
            (list (openwith-make-extension-regexp '("odp" "pps" "ppt" "pptx"))
                  "libreoffice" '("--impress" file))
            ))

  • You can set the value that will trigger the warning. Here, 500MB (setq large-file-warning-threshold 500000000)
