** Description changed:
- When I click on the Circle of Friend, Unity doesn't show me my preferred
- applications, set in GNOME Control Center.
+ Preferred applications are not stored in GConf anymore. Instead they are
+ stored in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list. There is a GLib API
+ to access it:
- PS: I use latest version of Ubuntu 11.10
+ http://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GAppInfo.html#g-app-info-get-
+ default-for-type
+ Example in Python:
+ import gio
+ gio.app_info_get_default_for_type("x-scheme-handler/mailto", False)
- airon@airon-Ei-105:~$ apt-cache policy gnome-control-center
- gnome-control-center:
- Instalita: 1:3.0.2-1ubuntu7
- Kandidata: 1:3.0.2-1ubuntu7
- Version table:
- *** 1:3.0.2-1ubuntu7 0
- 500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages
- 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
+ The types for default applications are defined in gnome-control-center's
+ function info_panel_setup_default_apps in panels/info/cc-info-panel.c
- airon@airon-Ei-105:~$ lsb_release -rd
- Description: Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
- Release: 11.10
+ The 4 types we are interested in are:
+ - web browser: x-scheme-handler/http
+ - mail client: x-scheme-handler/mailto
+ - music player: audio/x-vorbis+ogg
+ - photo manager: image/jpeg
+
+ Only the first 2 are defined and used in Natty:
+
+ Natty and Oneiric
+ x-scheme-handler/http
+ x-scheme-handler/mailto
+
+ Oneiric only
+ audio/x-vorbis+ogg
+ image/jpeg
