Description Antoine Jacoutot 2014-04-06 07:12:19 UTC 
Hi.

I was wondering if there was any usefulness in having:
MimeType=inode/directory;
in baobab.desktop

I am asking because if I install baobab after nautilus, then it will become the default handler for directories.
$ xdg-mime query default inode/directory
baobab.desktop

That means that software using xdg-open(1) and such will open baobab instead of nautilus. I know I can locally set my own handler, but I was just wondering in case there wasn't any real use for that MimeType...

Thank you :-)

Bug 687598 states that distributions "should install a list of default MIME handlers, I think."

Fair enough. I just don't get how for example when ones uses xfce and have baobab installed, settings a default MIME handler to nautilus would not make any sense...
Not sure how other distros manage to do it in a Desktop-agnostic way. Anyway, it is a inconvenience, not a bug per se so I understand...

Thanks.
