--- Comment #12 from nyanpasu64 <nyanpas...@tuta.io> --- To my knowledge, GNOME determines file associations through a standard XDG lookup; it's technically performed using VFS, but I don't think it matters for KDE trying to write default apps. GTK's "Default Applications" settings dialog uses g_app_info_get_recommended_for_type and g_app_info_get_default_for_type to fetch the current default app, and g_app_info_set_as_default_for_type to set a default app. And editing ~/.config/mimeapps.list is necessary and sufficient to change GNOME's default apps in both Files and Default Applications. Caveats: - I haven't looked into how `gio mime` sets associations, but I assume it works the same way. - Apparently g_app_info_get/set...() (https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GAppInfo.html) are actually implemented in terms of the GIO VFS API. However I've only seen them query the various mimeapps.list/mimeinfo.cache files, never any virtualized apps. I don't know if it's necessary for KDE to shell out to these APIs; I was planning to just write tools that interface with the standard XDG MIME/application files. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
