As Patryk said, PackageKit (I hope 0.2.2 will already support it [1]) will use this kind of data to allow the user to install application which can open files with the given MIME type. In the future, this functionality can be integrated into applications such as Nautilus or Thunar. Of course, you can use poldek too to find application which can open files with the given MIME type. For example: poldek:/all-avail> what-provides mimetype(text/plain) 6 package(s) found: gedit2-2.22.1-1.i686 gvim-athena-7.1.291-2.i686 gvim-gnome-7.1.291-2.i686 gvim-gtk-7.1.291-2.i686 gvim-motif-7.1.291-2.i686 vim-7.1.291-2.i686 [1] gpk-install-mime-type "text/plain" and sample result of this command: http://carme.pld-linux.org/~megabajt/images/gpk-install-mime-type.png -- Marcin Banasiak _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
