Hi Jelle, I think you are giving the best way. Erlend Davidson make a good question about the pattern. But the desktop file specification has the solution. See: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html MimeType : The MIME type(s) supported by this application. It is not equal to pattern, but it is better. An bash executable file can do not have a ".sh", but it's MIME Type is "application/x-sh" ;-) The edit interface can have a select list of knowed MIMEs to add for the list. The user don't must write that. Yes Jelle. Your idea is better then mine! :-) Aurium -- -===================================================- . . Aurélio A.
