xdg-open delegates by default to desktop-specific helpers such as gvfs-open, kde-open, (Mac OS X) open etc. It has a generic fallback to using xdg-mime, which itself uses desktop-specific helpers, and has a fallback to File::Mimeinfo and file. Therefore, in general it's anyone's guess what it does, though obviously for a specific user's installation it's possible to trace which particular tool it uses, and what a given version of that tool will do; and further, various DE's helpers will indeed use mimeapps.list. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
