Indeed, only .desktop and a good way to manage customs created. I will work on this > 4. i see no way to delete an entry in the mime apps list from the api we can pass NULL to efreet_mime_default_application_set()...don't remember if this is implemented in the patch. > 5. i see no way to maintain a preference list - ie list the most > recently used > or preferred app .desktops. example: > > i install mplayer and prefer it to open .avi files - i tell efm once > and it > saves this. so it keeps using it. now i uninstall mplayer - i'd like > to to go > back to my previous app (let's say xine) for playing. so as such i > think what > you want here is not a single entry but a list per file type - if we > are to > make this generic for everyone to use, it'd better cover a very very > very wide > range of uses. also entries should be marked as sticky or floating. > sticky == > the list order may change based on usage patterns (eg if i start > running > mplayer much more than xine - maybe it auto-re-orders the list), and > others may > be "dont care how much i use apps.

IMO the list of preference could be used, but inside the API, not exposed. So that when you call application_get() the implementation choose the best one and return only the right .desktop If we return more than one options than apps can do different things, and this is not consistent. > > so as such - this api needs some work imho. the "standard not yet a > standard" > imho is too simplistic and already will have usability problems (eg in > the > uninstall case). admittedly in that case you could just pop up the > "well app > doesnt exit - ask what app you want to use now" again, but it's not as > nice as > maintaining a list of preferences. > > > > > > > Best regards, > > > Teodor Petrov > > > > > > > > > p.s.
