There is no simple call for it, but all the ingredients for it is there.
Start by looking at:
GAppInfo *g_app_info_get_default_for_uri_scheme (const char *uri_scheme);
(uri scheme comes from g_file_get_uri_scheme())
If that returns NULL, we must look at the file type, which is done with:
g_file_query_info() or g_file_query_info_async()
(passing G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STD_CONTENT_TYPE as attribute)
Then you can get the default from:
GAppInfo *g_app_info_get_default_for_type (const char *content_type,
gboolean must_support_uris);
Clearly these could all go into a helper function:
GAppInfo *g_file_get_default_handler (GFile *file,
GCancellable, *cancellable,
GError **error)
Patches accepted.
Then you can launch the GAppInfo using g_app_info_launch().
For certain features (startup notification, starting on right screen)
you can also pass in a GAppLaunchContext implementation. This is a bit
tricky atm, but in the future such an implementation will be availible
in Gtk+ for simple use.
