mimeapps.list

[emninger]

When i click on FF > Downloads > Open file in folder nothing happens. Now, i think this should be configured in FF > Options > Applications but there does not exist the option "folder".

Just guessing in the dark, to have this option there should be configured something in ~/mimeapps.list. But how?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I just recently got  xdg-open  (xdg-utils.tcz) to work. The xdg-mime script has  /usr/bin/file  hardcoded which I have changed to  /usr/local/bin/file  and added  file.tcz  to  xdg-utils.tcz.dep .

Also I've added a check for sysmlinks otherwise  file  can't find the MIME type.

Code: [Select]

    #/usr/local/bin/file -i "$1" 2> /dev/null | cut -d ":" -f 2 | sed s/"^ "//
    ### Fix for symlinks.
    if [ -L "$1" ]; then
        FILE="$(readlink "$1")"
    else
        FILE="$1"
    fi
    /usr/local/bin/file -i "$FILE" 2> /dev/null | cut -d ":" -f 2 | sed s/"^ "//

While this is now working  ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list  is read for the application to use for each mime type.
Mine currently looks like this

If you any of those apps setup to load ondemand, you can, while they are loaded, copy their  *.desktop  file from
/usr/local/share/applications
to
~/.local/share/applications
Provided the main executable from the extension share the same name as the extension itself (or the ondemand script).

Now, i think this should be configured in FF > Options > Applications but there does not exist the option "folder".

This actually works if changing "Content Type - file" to use your favorite file manager.
