=What is this?= mimi is an improved verision of xdg-open. The original xdg-open works horribly without DE environment. =usage= 1. you can define a list of 'how-to-open' in '~/.config/mimi/mime.conf' (read below for format) 2. or you are lazy, mimi will search a best-fit app using .desktop file. Best fit is defined as the first option sorted by mime order and then , if they have the same mime order, reverse sorted by generality For example, the best-fit app says it can open 'text/html' in the very beginning of its mime definition. if two or more apps have the same priority, then we choose the app that can open the most number of file types. =search order= for example, I want to define how to open 'text/html'. mime will search in order like this 1. 'txt' in your config 2. <protocol> in your config (i.e. http, ftp, magnet) ...etc. 3. 'text/html' in your config 4. 'text/' in your config 5. 'text/html' in .desktop 6. 'text/' in .desktop 7. if mimi still cannot find anything, it will open dmenu and bug you. note: 1. sometimes, mimi is smart enough to figure out protocol based on mime-type when it searches for .desktop. 2. sometimes, if an app requires a terminal to run (ncurses programs), mimi is able to find one terminal app in .desktop. =customize= this is my own stuff text/: xterm -e vim application/pdf: zathura video/: vlc image/: feh audio/: vlc application/x-tar: xterm -e 2a application/x-gzip: xterm -e 2a application/x-bzip2: xterm -e 2a application/x-rar: xterm -e 2a application/x-xz: xterm -e 2a application/zip: xterm -e 2a inode/directory: xterm -e ranger it can be simplified by using: rar: xterm -e 2a but if you have time, using mime-type is more precise
