Does the command line have a way to get a recommended list of programs used to open a particular file, based on the file type? For example, a .pdf file would have an open with... recommendation using the programs Evince and Document Viewer.
I’m trying to make a .desktop file for Minecraft. Nothing appears to happen upon executing the file. I’ve tried assigning the Exec key as follows:
I have a couple of .desktop files that aren’t working as expected or not at all. I can’t see any error anywhere and asking for help on each one seems unproductive. Is there a way I can verify that I’m using the correct syntax in the file, that it complies with the FreeDesktop standard, so I can apply specific fixes?
I would like to have files of a chosen type (by their extension) to open with some specific programs. Which configuration files do I need to edit?
I’ve tried some in /usr/share/appplications/default.list but it doesn’t work.
