Re: Tool for search mime association

["Augusto Arcoverde da Rocha" <agarobr listas gmail com>]

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
