Hi,

The gnomevfs API isn't depreciated (AFAIK). Certainly, we use gnomevfs
extensively.

Sorry, my misunderstanding! :/

Only gnome-vfs-mime-database API are deprecated and not entire gnome-vfs API.

However, if your looking for a small easy tool, maybe writing your own
would be okay?

"Reinvent the wheel" isn't always a good way to inprove open and free
software development. Some development divergencies are a very good
thing, I prefer to join my efforts with efforts of others. Then, it is
for that I'm asking for advice here.

Check the API documentation for gnomevfs and find this function:
gnome_vfs_mime_get_default_application_for_uri [1]

Thanks for this note. I never would go to understand this if you don't
persisted to show me this subject.

As was pointed out, gconf isn't really anything to do with mime types.
gconf is used for storing preferences and things. gnomevfs really is
the way to get at mime types (at least AFAIK).

GConf has nothing to do with "mime database", I agree. But it have
some things to do with users preferences (like user settings for
mime-application association) and with the default settings on GNOME
system (like default mime-application associations).

Or am I understaning something wrong?
