Yea, this is what I'm looking for - not a default application for specific MIME type, but a member of suggested applications list for such type. As far as I could understand I need this: http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/integrating_gnome.html -----Original Message----- From: Magnus Therning [mailto:magnus@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 14, 2010 2:51 PM To: Alexander M.

Choosing the default application for a file type should be left to the user. I believe that if you place a .desktop file in a location like /usr/share/applications/ (probably distro specific) and it includes a MimeType entry, then your application will be entered into the list of applications that the user can choose from in the properties dialogue. /M _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
