Definition of MIME: See http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME
System-wide mime types are set in /etc/mime.types .
Users may set their own mime preferences in $HOME/.mime.types .
Applications may have their own mime-rules. How they implement and record those rules is up to each application.
Nautilus
You can select the program to handle a file, typing in ["Nautilus"]
applications:///Preferences/Advanced
and selecting file types and programs.
Other way is use the FileTypesProperties . Type in a ["terminal"]
gnome-file-types-properties
You can add system MIME preferences, instead of install webbrowser standalone plugins (see ["Mozilla"], ?"MozPluggerMIME").
Mozilla and Nautilus
The Gnome Nautilus Mime Type configuration tool will also define mime types for Mozilla. The configuration tool /usr/bin/gnome-file-types-properties will edit the following user configuration files:
- $HOME/.gnome/mime-info/user.keys: List mime types and the associated application/viewer.
- $HOME/.gnome/mime-info/user.mime: Mime types and the associted file extention
System values:
- /usr/share/mime-info/gnome.mime
