mimeapps.list tools: a set of simple scripts to manage mimeapps.list files

Setting system-wide default applications is actually not very easy in current Linux distributions. This aims to help fix it.

Quality: hacked together to get basic work done, may be buggy, works for me :-) Breaking changes expected, please read diffs or pin your versions.

What is here

Two main scripts:

  • defaulter takes patterns for default apps and outputs a mimeapps.list to stdout
  • combiner can merge multiple mimeapps.list-style files by applying one after another

There is currently little documentation. All scripts support --help option to give usage, and have a large docstring at the top, which explains what they do.

The file example.patterns serves as an example of the pattern file. It too has a few comments.

Proper documentation, tests, etc: not currently implemented. Patches wanted. Also see the TODO file.
