-
-Changing default applications is done with command `xdg-mime`. This is a
-command line tool for querying information about file type handling and adding
-descriptions for new file types. Make sure you have this program installed.
-
-Application will use `.desktop` files to associate applications with specific
-types.
-
-## Location and structure of `.desktop` files
-
-```sh
-ls /usr/share/applications
-ls ~/.local/share/applications
-```
-
-You can add your own `.desktop` files to `~/.local/share/applications`.
-
-An example of `.desktop` file for Brave browser located in
-`~/.local/share/applications/brave.desktop`.
-
-```ini
-[Desktop Entry]
-Exec=/home/m/Applications/brave
-Type=Application
-Categories=Applications
-Name=Brave Browser
-```
-
-## Query current associations
-
-You can query specific types with `xdg-mime`.
-
-```sh
-xdg-mime query default text/plain
-xdg-mime query default text/html
-xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/http
-xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/https
-xdg-mime query default inode/directory
-```
-
-Or you can look at the files containing this data.
-
-```sh
-less ~/.config/mimeapps.list
-less /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list
-```
-
-## Set default application
-
-```sh
-# Set Brave as default browser.
-xdg-mime default brave.desktop x-scheme-handler/http
-xdg-mime default brave.desktop x-scheme-handler/https
-
-# Set Thunar as default file explorer.
-xdg-mime default thunar.desktop inode/directory
-
-# Set Mousepad as default txt editor.
-xdg-mime default mousepad.desktop text/plain
-```
-
-## Interfacing with C
-
-This simple example lists all registered types. But you can see where this can
-go. This could be turned into ncurses CLI application that is used for setting
-and changing default applications.
-
-```c
-#include <gio/gio.h>
-
-int main(void) {
-    GList *types = g_content_types_get_registered();
-
-    for (GList *l=types; l!=NULL; l=l->next) {
-        g_print("%s\n", (char *)l->data);
-    }
-
-    g_list_free_full(types, g_free);
-    return 0;
-}
-```
-
-Compile with `clang -o main main.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gio-2.0)`.
