I modified my mine types and it works in Thunar, xfce filemanager under
GNU/Linux.
Zim 0.65
I've both Gnumeric and Clac installed.
How does Zim handle mime types?
Zim follows the XDG spec, so behavior should be the same as XFCE. The reference application to test is "xdg-open". This is a commandline tool to open a file according to mimetype.
However fixing in zim is easy, just right-click on the link and go to the "open with" menu. There is a menu item to change the default.

still not from zim. Curious. I logged out/in already…

OK, nice.
So both Gnumeric and Calc are listed.
If I follow "Customize" 3rd choice, I effectively have a choice. Gnumeric as first.
Zim stay on Gnumeric if I choose "System default".
Selecting Calc works fine, even for other .ods links, thanks!

However it follows the 2012 implementation of the xdg tools. In the meantime they seem to have adopted another file for storing defaults, so zim could be updated accordingly. |
