Ant4: Created page with "To change the default application associated with a filetype you must use the xdg-mime command and point to the desired desktop file (if it doesn't exist, you must create one)..."

To change the default application associated with a filetype you must use the xdg-mime command and point to the desired desktop file (if it doesn't exist, you must create one).

= Example =
In the following example we want to make mupdf the default command to open pdf files.
First you need to create a desktop file, because mupdf doesn't provide one.
{{Cmd|$ cat > ~/.local/share/applications/mupdf.desktop}}
<pre>
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=/usr/local/bin/mupdf
Name=mupdf
</pre>
Then you must use xdg to associate the desktop file with the pdf extension.
{{Cmd|$ xdg-mime default mupdf.desktop application/pdf}}
That's all.
