I'd use that myself, but I'd also like to see E17 become a desktop environment
to the point where the command line is no longer a necessity (so I can get my
less-computer literate friends to use it :), thus things like this are needed.
Also, how does one set a mime option? Currently I do everything from the
command line, but it'd still be nice to know how to do filetype associations
should I want to set up an E based desktop for someone else :)
(I got writing this, realised it was somewhat offtopic, but I though I'd post
it on the odd chance that my proof of concept is a better design than the
current code. Probably not, but I've spent 5 minutes thinking about it and I
don't like to waste thinking time, so I thought I'd show it anyway :)
How does it work anyway? I'd do something like so (very messy, just a proof of
concept):
] # load this from a database of some sort
] $associations = {
] "text/plain" => {"edit" => "gedit"},
] "text/html" => {"view" => "mozilla", "edit" => "eterm -e vim"},
] }
] sub rightClick($filename) {
] $mimetype = system("file --mime $filename");
] foreach($associations[$mimetype]) {
] menu.addItem($key);
] menu.item($key).onClick = system("$value $filename");
] }
] }
] sub doubleClick($filename) {
] $mimetype = system("file --mime $filename");
] # action 0 is the default
] system("$associations[$mimetype][0] $filename");
] }
-- Shish
