We already have /usr/share/applications/defaults.list which contains the mime-type <-> application link. So for example, trying to open a RAR file: application/x-rar=gnome-file-roller.desktop Gives you: yum -y install /usr/share/applications/gnome-file-roller.desktop Voila! You just need integration into nautilus, and a nice front-end to yum. -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
