Hi,

How can I find out what is the default application associated to a file type (or preferably a mime type)?

I found out that, at least, on ubuntu you can use xdg-mime for that.

I would like to either find out the application so I can execute it directly or find a way to just have “the system” figure out and handle a file and/or a url. In other words I want to be able to tell “the system” to: open thisfile.mp3 or play http://anywhere/video.mp4


check the documentation on that topic [1], but when it comes to URL-handlers, please be aware of this bug [2].
