I want to open a file type ics with firefox but can only see KOrganiser.

Is in oS a way to search applications by supporting mime types? The really cool http://software.opensuse.org/package site and cnf cli offer only searches based on package / executable names.

If you google "what opens .ics files in Linux" you get answers :-)

Indeed. But this lists need a long time of try and error to get useful desktop applications installed - at least for average users. So I wonder if the available meta information inside the .desktop files could be leveraged to make the search fast and smooth for users, to find what they need. kind regards Kai-Uwe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

GVFS will do this, it uses the underlying XDG information, so I assume it will work fine in KDE.

thanks

Will it also show information if application (package) is not installed?

I was wondering too. Here my local output: & gvfs-mime --query text/calendar Standardanwendung für »text/calendar«: evolution.desktop Registrierte Anwendungen: evolution.desktop xfcalendar.desktop kde4-korganizer.desktop writer.desktop org.gnome.gedit.desktop monodevelop.desktop abiword.desktop leafpad.desktop kde4-kate.desktop kde4-kwrite.desktop kde4-okularApplication_txt.desktop geany.desktop Empfohlene Anwendungen: evolution.desktop xfcalendar.desktop kde4-korganizer.desktop For instance I do not see Adam's: firefox.desktop calc.desktop ghex.desktop wine-extension-txt.desktop kind regards Kai-Uwe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
