Since this project is open-source, you are welcome to contribute.

This project uses multiple git branches:
* feature branches are used to add enhancements to the project. They must
be named after the issue they're referring (e.g. issue XP-003 is targeted in
feature branch XP-003). They are later merged into develop when the feature
is finished.
* develop branch is the core branch. It is used to group all done features. It
can occasionally contain hotfixes.
* release branches are created each time a new release is started. They are
merged from develop when all planned features are ready. They can also
contain specific release fixes (e.g. change of configuration, version
number)
* master branch is merged from release branches (a tag must be added each
time a release is pulled)

# xdg-prefs
# XDG-Prefs
> Remy Chaput <[email protected]>
Program that allows you to change the default application on your Linux system, using XDG standard.
On GNU/Linux systems, each file has an associated MIME Type (or Media Type)
that represents the kind of content (for example, *image/jpeg*).
Your system uses a database to list your preferences for default applications
(for example, to use *eog* as default application for *image/jpeg*).

*XDG-Prefs* uses the [XDG Specifications][xdg-spec] to read and modify this
database, allowing you to change your preferred default applications for
each MIME type. The [XDG Specifications][xdg-spec] is the reference
specification for MIME types and default applications, meaning that the
preferences you will set in *XDG-Prefs* will be recognized by all other
XDG-compliant softwares (such as `xdg-open`, which is typically used when
you double-click on a file).

Usually, Desktop Environments (such as *Gnome*, or *KDE*) provide some kind of
tool to manage these preferences ; this software works on every Window Manager
(including those that are not Desktop Environments, such as *i3wm*).

*Note*: *XDG-Prefs* is not associated with the
[Freedesktop Organization][freedesktop], and is not an official software of the
[XDG Specifications][xdg-spec].

## Getting started

Download the Wheel (.whl) file in the [releases] section and install it using
`pip install XDG_Prefs-<version>-py3-none-any.whl` (replace `<version>` with
the number of the version you downloaded, such as `0.1`:
`XDG_Prefs-0.1-py3-none-any.whl`).
Please note that you must use Python3.5 or later (you might need to replace
`pip` with `pip3` on some distributions, such as Debian).

Alternatively, you can clone this project on your computer and run
`python setup.py install`. This is recommended if you want to contribute.
Again, you will need to use Python3.5 or later (you might need to replace
`python` with `python3` on some distributions, such as Debian).

This will install the required files and create a `xdg-prefs` executable.

## How to use

Launch `xdg-prefs` (for example from the command line). On the interface you
will see 3 panels (each associated to a tab):
1. **Associations**: allows you to see the current default application for each
MIME Type.
Simply click on the list, on the left of a given MIME Type to see the list
of possible applications. Click on one of them to set it as the default
application.
2. **List MIME Types**: allows you to see the list of known MIME types on your
computer, and to search for specifics MIME types. Even MIME types which do
not have an associated default application are listed here.
3. **List Applications**: allows you to see the list of known applications on
your computer (that is, those with a *.desktop* file). You can see the list
of MIME types each application is able to handle, and a description of the
application.

*XDG-Prefs* will print logs on the bottom of the interface, especially when
you set a new default application.

## Features

* Python implementation of multiples XDG Specifications.
Directly reads the files that compose each of the following databases:
* [Shared MIME Database][mime-spec] (list of all MIME types)
* [Desktop Entry][apps-spec] (list of applications)
* [MIME Applications Associations][xdg-spec] (preferences for default
applications)
* Qt5 interface
* allows to see and filter list of MIME types
* allows to see and filter list of applications
* allows to see and change the default application associated to each MIME type
* Works with every window manager

## Dependencies

This project only depends on
* Python3.5 (should work with later versions)
* PySide2 (Qt5 for Python ; tested with version 5.9.0a1)
* configparser (Python standard library to read config files)
* [future_fstrings](https://pypi.org/project/future-fstrings/)
(in order to use PEP498's F-strings in Python3.5)
* Uses code from https://github.com/wor/desktop_file_parser
(in order to parse [Desktop files][apps-spec])

## Contributing

This is an Open-Source projects, your contributions are very welcome.

If you have an idea for a new feature, an optimization or if you notice a bug,
feel free to [open an issue][issues].

You are also welcome to contribute to the code directly, in this case please
