Probably a nice idea > to file a meta-bug for this. Looks like a good GNOME Goal. The desktop file already contains a list of mime-types. As an example the file gnumeric.desktop already contains the string "excel". I reported this bug, but it turned out to be a duplicate. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622166 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609207 As far as I xcan see the freedesktop.org standard does not allow you to add metadata such as "calendar", "schedule" or "appointment" or "date" to a desktop file. Perhaps this feature requires higher politics. http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html Thank you for the answers Niels _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
