Does Not Comply with XDG Standard on mimeapps.list

[N1X3L]

My new favorite mind mapper! Just one problem so far… installation never generates MIME file type associations. This file is not created:

~/.local/share/mime/packages/application-x-vym.xml

The expected behavior is that I could associate .vym files with vym. The actual behavior is that I must launch vym, and then open the file within the program.

Happy to hear you like vym.

I don't know how you install, is this a package on arch? I'd blame the package maintainer, in my SUSE package it's there. You could compare the desktop files here:

I have reported to the package maintainer. Thank you!

So every downstream packager needs to include it themselves? Why wouldn't you add it here if people should have it?

[insilmaril]

Hm it could be also tracked here in github and not just in OBS. The target destination then depends on platform, so cmake would probably need an update.

Reopening for now.

Added the files in github to make packaging easier:
./config/vym.desktop
./config/vym.xml

Don't want to include it in the CMakeLists.txt for now, as the location really depends on platform and OS. Suggestions how to improve that are welcome

[insilmaril]

Both files are now installed with cmake install for UNIX-like platforms.
