XDG (freedesktop.org) which stands for X Desktop Group is a group which develop the X11 and xdg utilities which currently runs as barebones of linux desktop.
So how do we configure XDG?
Tools that we will be using to configure xdg
can be found in xdg-utils
package (utilities like xdg-settings
and xdg-mime
).
So to set the default application to open a certain mime type, you need run the code below:
xdg-mime default Thunar.desktop inode/directory
The command above would add the new mime application settings to ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list
. It basically tells xdg-mime
to open a directory using Thunar (XFCE filemanager).
