Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I don't know Gnome but I use some applications, like the |
4 |
mail-client/balsa. |
5 |
It opens suitable applications for given mime types (in attachments). |
6 |
The application invoked is read from |
7 |
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache . |
8 |
Unfortunately, that file is rebuild after each emerge of a related |
9 |
package. |
10 |
E.g., having reinstalled media-gfx/gimp it places gimp at the front of |
11 |
the list of |
12 |
packages suitable for viewing a postscript file. |
13 |
Currently I am only able to modify |
14 |
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache by changing |
15 |
the order of coresponding applications. |
16 |
|
17 |
Is there a more elegant (persistent) way? |
18 |

Many thanks for a hint, |

Helmut. |
