Bug 10042

Created attachment 8786 [details] [review]
check .desktop file from defaults.list exists

The patch doesn't really improve things because now it will fail telling you about certain applications that are default but that have their *.desktop file installed in a location outside $XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications that's explicitly included in /etc/xorg/menus/applications.menu

The current version at least guarantees that after
    xdg-mime default FOO.desktop mime/type
a following 
    xdg-mime query default mime/type
will always return FOO.desktop

We really need an application like ktradertest that takes the full spec into account, would be nice if gnomevfs had something similar.

I propose gnomevfs-default along the lines of:

main(argc, argv)
{
   GnomeVFSMimeApplication *app;
   const char *desktop_id;
   if (!argc)
   {
      printf("Usage: gnomevfs-default <mimetype>\n");
      return 2;
   }
   app = gnome_vfs_mime_get_default_application(argv[1]);
   if (!app) return 1;
   desktop_id = gnome_vfs_mime_application_get_desktop_id(app);
   if (!desktop_id) return 1;
   printf("%s\n", desktop_id);
   return 0;
}
