# Make .par files work in KDE

A much eaiser way to verify and repair PAR2 files.

This assumes you have par2 installed

As a normal user:

- Open konquer and select settings-->configure konqueor-->File associations--->Add--->par2--->Add
- You should add \*.par2 and then in all caps \*.PAR2
- Click Add under application preference order---->type the word konsole------>command for konsole is

`konsole --noclose -e par2 r`

That will enable you to double click par2 files and a konsole window will open and verify and repair if needed. The window will stay open when finished so you can be sure all went well.
