Description Bastien Nocera 2010-10-05 14:30:26 UTC

An application that used to support the "foo" URI scheme through installing a GConf schema would now have to register a x-scheme-handler/foo mime-type in its desktop file.

I thought a bit about something like this a few years ago:

There's a small thread about the subject on the xdg-list:

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all
older tickets in GNOME Bugzilla.

If this is still a valid request in a recent and currently supported version of GNOME, then please feel free to use https://gitlab.gnome.org/groups/GNOME/-/issues and/or (if this ticket is about a general Initiative) check the `9. Initiative` labels on https://gitlab.gnome.org/groups/GNOME/-/labels if they should be applied on codebase-specific tickets in GitLab. Thanks.
