Manage your default applications with ease using `handlr`!
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Set default handler by extension or mime-type
|
|
- Intelligent mime type detection from files based on extension and content
|
|
- Mime-type validation against a massive database
|
|
- List default associations
|
|
- Automatically removes invalid/wrong `.desktop` entries from `mimeapps.list`
|
|
- Helper commands like `launch`, `get --json` for your scripting needs
|
|
- Unnecessarily fast (written in Rust)
|
|
- Single compiled binary with no dependencies
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Open a file/URL
|
|
handlr open ~/.dotfiles/pacman/packages.txt
|
|
handlr open https://google.ca
|
|
|
|
# Set default handler for png files
|
|
handlr set .png feh.desktop
|
|
|
|
# Set default handler based on mime
|
|
handlr set application/pdf evince.desktop
|
|
|
|
# List default apps
|
|
handlr list
|
|
|
|
# Get the handler for a mime/extension
|
|
$ handlr get .png
|
|
feh.desktop
|
|
|
|
# Launch a handler with given path/URL
|
|
handlr launch x-scheme-handler/https -- https://google.ca
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Compared to `xdg-utils`
|
|
- Far easier to use with simple commands like `get`, `set`, `list`
|
|
- Can operate on extensions, **no need to look up or remember mime types**
|
|
- useful for common tasks like setting a handler for png/docx/etc files
|
|
- Superb autocomplete (currently just fish), including mimes, extensions, and `.desktop` files
|
|
- Optional json output for commands like `get`
|
