Hi Osmo,
Many thanks for your excellent help. That works perfectly for my purposes.
Just one question: how can I find out which *command* (not just the name of the
executable) gets executed when I use one of those applications returned by
gio.gio.app_info_get_all_for_type?
In GNOME vfs, I got back a structure in which the third element was the actual
command string, eg:
> app = gnomevfs.mime_get_all_applications('text/plain')[1]
> print app[2]
wine start /ProgIDOpen txtfile
>
I thought that in GIO get_commandline()
[http://library.gnome.org/devel/pygobject/stable/class-gioappinfo.html#method-gioappinfo--get-commandline]
would do that for me, but I can't seem to get it to work on Python:
> app = gio.app_info_get_all_for_type('text/plain')[1]
> app.get_commandline()
AttributeError
In pygtk how can I get the command that is run when this app is used to launch
a file?
Many thanks for your help,
lara
