Don't know how difficult it is to implement, or if there is some lib for this besides command line utils, I like how filetype associations are now, but maybe some option could be implemented to use xdg utils for this or internal one, all DE's seems to trying to support these, user defaults.lists is in ~/.local/share/applications or can be set system wide. With 'xdg-mime query filetype somefile' can be found what mime type is and with 'xdg-query default mime/type' can be found default app. Also, ~/.tuxcmd dir can be moved to ~/.config/tuxcmd . And thank you for all your work, tuxcmd is superior to all other similar fm's,
Most of the XDG file management-related routines reside in the GIO library, which I plan to port tuxcmd to. No timeframe yet, maybe late 2010, perhaps even 2011. Patches are welcome. It's quite complex though.
