The gnomevfs mime API seems to be deprecated and I'm seeking for a more self contained tool (without parsing conf files directly) to avoid distro conflicts or GNOME version changes. GConf is a new interface to environment definitions, gconftool implement a command line access interface to GConf database, but I don't know to use it. I use gconftool-2 --dump --recursive-list /schemas | grep mime and don't get usefull information. Thanks, Augusto Arcoverde da Rocha On 6/20/06, Don Scorgie <DonScorgie blueyonder co uk> wrote:
Hi, Maybe look at gnomevfs-info it provides all sorts of useful information about a file, one of which is "Default app", which specifies a .desktop file (found in /usr/share/applications) where the info can be found (provided a default app exists). Would need a bit of parsing though.
