The GNOME Desktop uses MIME types to: </p> <list> <item> <p> Determine which application should open a specific file format by default. </p> </item> <item> <p> Register other applications that can also open a specific file format. </p> </item> <item> <p> Provide a string describing the type of a file, for example, in a file properties dialog of the <app>Files</app> application. </p> </item> <item> <p> Provide an icon representing a specific file format, for example, in a file properties dialog of the <app>Files</app> application. </p> </item> </list> <p>Os nomes dos tipos MIME seguen os seguinte formato:</p> <screen> <var>tipo-media</var>/<var>identificador-subtipo</var> </screen> <p> <sys>image/jpeg</sys> is an example of a MIME type where <sys>image</sys> is the media type, and <sys>jpeg</sys> is the subtype identifier. </p> <p>GNOME segue a especificación <em>Información MIME compartida de freedesktop.org</em>:</p> <list> <item> <p> The machine-wide and user-specific location to store all MIME type specification files. </p> </item> <item> <p>Cómo rexistrar un tipo MIME para que ambiente de escritorio saiba que aplicativos poden usarse para abrir un formato de ficheiro específico.</p> </item> <item> <p> How the user can change which applications should open what file formats. </p> </item> </list> <section id="mime-database"> <title>Que é a base de datos MIME?</title> <p> The MIME database is a collection of all MIME type specification files that GNOME uses to store information about known MIME types. </p> <p> The most important part of the MIME database from the system administrator’s point of view is the <file>/usr/share/mime/packages/</file> directory where the MIME type related files specifying information on known MIME types are stored. One example of such a file is <file>/usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml</file>, specifying information about the standard MIME types available on the system by default. That file is provided by the <sys>shared-mime-info</sys> package. </p> </section> <section id="mime-types-more-information"> <title>Obter máis información</title> <p> For detailed information describing the MIME type system, see the <em>freedesktop.org Shared MIME Info specification</em> located at the freedesktop.org website: </p> <list> <item> <p> <link href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/shared-mime-info-spec/"> http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/shared-mime-info-spec/</link> </p> </item> </list> </section> </page>
