gnome-vfs.applications.4(4)	 File Formats	   gnome-vfs.applications.4(4)

NAME
       gnome-vfs.applications - GNOME VFS application registry

DESCRIPTION
       GnomeVFS is obsolete.  Refer to the GNOME Desktop System Administration
       Guide for information about how to register MIME type information  with
       the  GNOME  desktop.  The GNOME Desktop System Administration Guide can
       be viewed with yelp(1).

       The GNOME MIME magic and MIME info files (see  gnome-vfs-mime-magic(4))
       enable  GNOME  VFS  to associate a data file with its icon and descrip‐
       tion. The GNOME VFS application registry provides a way to  launch  the
       applications associated with such files.

       The  registration of applications to various MIME types is specified in
       text files placed in the	 /usr/share/gnome/application-registry	direc‐
       tory.  GNOME provides a default registry file called gnome-vfs.applica‐
       tions. Vendor-specific registry files can also be placed in this direc‐
       tory.  This  information	 is used extensively by nautilus(1), the GNOME
       file manager.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
       The format of the application registry file is simple. Each application
       entry is made up of a name followed by a number of key-value pairs. The
       application name must have been specified in one of  the	 .keys	files.
       The minimum required key fields are as follows:

       command		       The command to execute.

       name		       The descriptive name of the command, which will
			       appear in the Open With	 menu in Nautilus.

       can_open_multiple_files The value of this field can be true or false.

       expects_uris	       The value of this field can be true  or	false.
			       This  field tells Nautilus whether the applica‐
			       tion can accept http:, ftp: and so on  specifi‐
			       cations	to  open at the command line.  If this
			       is true, you must add the supported_uri_schemes
			       field.

       requires_terminal       The value of this field can be true or false.

       mime_types	       The  list of comma-separated mime-types defined
			       by MIME magic or MIME info files.

       Optional field:

       supported_uri_schemes   Specifies the list of  protocols	 supported  by
			       the  application; for example, http, ftp, file,
			       telnet, gopher.
