How do you get an application onto this list?
I’m working on a little program that’ll launch different browsers based on the content of the URL passed and I’d like to set it as the default Web app in this list (under Settings → Default Apps). I’ve written a .desktop file based on the epiphany.desktop file, but it doesn’t show up when I hit [Win]+o+p+e and it doesn’t show up in the default apps either, so I’m hoping that someone here can explain what I’ve done wrong.
Here’s the contents of the opening.desktop file:
<span style="color:#323232;">$ cat ~/.local/share/applications/opening.desktop
</span><span style="color:#323232;">[Desktop Entry]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Name=Opening
</span><span style="color:#323232;">GenericName=Web Browser
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Comment=Open links in the right browsers
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Keywords=web;browser;internet;opening;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Exec=opening %u
</span><span style="color:#323232;">StartupNotify=true
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Terminal=false
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Type=Application
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Icon=/home/daniel/.local/share/applications/opening.png
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">MimeType=text/html;application/xhtml+xml;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;multipart/related;application/x-mimearchive;message/rfc822;application/x-xpinstall;
</span>
Any criticisms are much appreciated!
