XFCE4, shared-mime-info and desktop-file-utils are both installed and databases are up-to-date. However, after your hint I tested GNOME and there it works. Shouldn't such things be mentioned in the manpage (in the BUGS section?) or shouldn't there be a fallback mechanism? > > When I try to query the default > > applications registered for a MIME type, I always get nothing back from > > the command, e.g. > > > > $ xdg-mime query default text/html > > $ > > > > But the return value is "0", so no error is reported. > > I think that's on purpose.

I know the relevant freedesktop.org specs :) That's the reason why I wonder, that the command does not return anything. Several editors have been registered for text/html: $ grep "text/html" /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache text/html=iceweasel.desktop;amaya-9.54.desktop;[..];bluefish-unstable.desktop; So xdg-mime should return this list. But it does not. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
