Hi,

I know this is (almost) nothing, but I want to fill in the 'Music Player' field in Caja's media handling tab. By default, it shows 'No applications found'. Also I want Asunder to appear in the list of Caja's known applications. What do I have to mess with in order to handle this?

What music player do you have and what application do you have that handles it?

For asunder, I think you have to add in the asunder.desktop file.

Code: Select all

MimeType=x-content/audio-cdda;

in the asunder.desktop file.

The MimeType addition did the trick for asunder, thanks.

I want Exaile as the default Music Player.

I think you misunderstood what "Music Player" means in this context. It means portable music players, not computer software. You're supposed to set the default application that will handle any music players that you connect to your PC, like ipods.

Ah, the music device - it's an ipod, and I know Exaile can handle it if python-gpod is installed.

Try adding "x-content/audio-player" to the exaile.desktop mimetypes.

Wow, worked like a charm. Thanks!

I've never wondered how and why the x-content MimeType existed.
