Description Matthias Clasen 2013-09-02 21:24:45 UTC 
We want to be able to launch gnome-software to make suggestions for what app to install to open a certain file.

Do we want to integrate with the nautilus functionality for this? I've added this to gnome-software this morning:

    Allow search-by-mimetype in the UI
    
    This means you get sensible results for queries like:
    
    $ gnome-software --mode=search --search-value="application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text"

The gnome-software side of this works well now.
