Nouvelle page

(Tested with GNOME 2.14)

2 steps:
* Map your extension with a MIME type
* Map this MIME type to an application

The goal is to map <code>.eml</code> with a locally installed Thunderbird (<code>~/software/thunderbird/thunderbird</code>).

== Map your extension with a MIME type ==

* (needed?) Declare the MIME type in /etc/mime.types
ex:
<pre>
application/local.mozilla.thunderbird eml
</pre>

* Declare the MIME type in /usr/share/mime/packages/
ex: /usr/share/mime/packages/thunderbird.xml :
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'>
<mime-type type="application/local.mozilla.thunderbird">
<comment>Saved mail</comment>
<comment xml:lang="fr">Courriel enregistré</comment>
<glob pattern="*.eml"/>
</mime-type>
</mime-info>
</pre>

* Refresh the mime cache:
update-mime-cache /usr/share/mime/

== Map your MIME type to an application ==

* You can right-click on a file with your extension, and select "Open with".
~/.local/share/applications/*.desktop
~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

* You can create a site-wide .desktop with 'NoDisplay=true' so it doesn't show in the Applications menu
/usr/local/share/applications/*.desktop
/usr/local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
or
/usr/share/applications/*.desktop
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
Then update the cache with:
update-desktop-database

More: create a 'file'-like file detection. Currently the added MIME type conflicts with 'plain text'.

== Files ==

<pre>
/etc/mime.types # MIME declaration
/usr/share/mime/packages/*.xml # glob
/usr/share/mime/application/*.xml # cache?
/usr/share/mime/mime.cache # cache
/usr/share/mime-info/*.mime # ?
/usr/share/mime-info/*.keys # ?
/usr/share/application-registry/*.applications # priority?
/usr/share/applications/*.desktop # menu entry and App->MIMEs association
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache # MIME->Apps association cache
/usr/share/applications/defaults.list # priority override
</pre>

<pre>
/usr/local/share/applications/ # alternate hierarchy
~/.local/share/applications/ # alternate hierarchy
</pre>

Priority precedence:
<pre>
~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list
[Gnome hard-coded priorities, e.g. abiword.desktop - ugh >p]
/usr/local/share/applications/defaults.list
/usr/share/applications/defaults.list
</pre>

Sample defaults.list:
<pre>
[Default Applications]
application/msword=openoffice.org2.4-writer.desktop
</pre>

Icons:
/usr/share/icons/*/*/mimetypes
ex:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/mimetypes/openofficeorg23-text.png

== TODO ==

* /usr/share/application-registry/*.applications
(for priority/precedence?)

* Do we need to use these:
/usr/share/mime-info/*.mime
/usr/share/mime-info/*.keys

== Avoid Abiword hard-coded high priorioty ==

dpkg-divert --rename \
--divert /usr/share/applications/abiword-nothardcoded.desktop\
/usr/share/applications/abiword.desktop
update-desktop-database
