To get the desktop file corresponding to the preferred web browser application, we could use `xdg-settings get default-web-browser`. Unfortunately this won’t help for the other application families (photos, e-mail, music).
The following GConf keys are what unity uses to discover the preferred applications: Browser: /desktop/gnome/applications/browser/exec E-mail: /desktop/gnome/applications/calendar/exec Music: /desktop/gnome/applications/media/exec (Photos: no preference, hardcoded to shotwell in the code…) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708479 Title: Dash view should use "Prefferred Applications" icons where appropriate -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
