Hi Daniel, many thanks for your answer, I will do what you suggest : mailcap/metamail and fd.o support. If I understood correctly, to do so, I need to: - Have a MimeType entry in the .desktop file. - Have a debian/packagename.mime file in the source package and call dh_installmime. I did not find the way to associate a file suffix to the program. Is MIME the way to go ? The goal would be that mail user agents and webservers would use the right mime type with attached/downloaded files, and that doubleclicking on local files would make them opened by a relevant program. I have another question: can subcategories starting by x- created freely? The program I am working on is Treeview X, a phylogenetic tree viewer that can read Clustal W format. It is text based, so David Paleino, our collaborator from the Debian-Med packaging team, suggested text/clustalw-tree. But maybe I can submit a wishlist bug on chemical-mime-data to have chemical/clustalw-tree from your namespace ?
