Last time i searched for a way to run user-preferred file manager to open project directory from desktop-space session managers (used to manage projects). I found two hard issues:
1. Under destops environments it tries to use native tools like kde-open, gvfs-open and exo-open, but they all don't wait for project termination and quit in few moments after application start, what makes them hard to control. 2. Native part, using xdg-mime, fails to find app.desktop launchers for kde4 applications, which are placed in application/kde4 subdir, but searched only in root (applications), just by testing does such file exist. Next attempt, mimeopen, makes ugly suggestions. Even under kde4 it suggested only qgit, thunar, marlin and caja (qgit is on first position ))), when xdg-mime suggested nautilus (which however, was not installed, so lol). In my version it searches launchers by find utility and uses first result. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
