Integrate FlatImages better into desktop

Open fiftydinar opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Current desktop integration only covers adding .desktop file & icon to appear into menu.

This is a nice start.

But what I see that is currently lacking is:

  • support for opening links to redirect to your default web-browser & other similar scenarios (using xdg-mime)
  • option to set FlatImage application to be the default (also using xdg-mime)
  • support for MPRIS (media status notification)
  • etc.

I believe that equivalent to these above are portals in flatpak.

If those above can be achieved when FlatImage is in portable mode, that would be great!

Hi @fiftydinar , thanks for the suggestion! I'll give updates to these features here as they are integrated.

Update on this:

  • A portal implementation is now available
  • xdg-open will now redirect to the host, i.e., xdg-open www.google.com will use the default browser of the host
  • xdg-mime will now redirect to the host. More work is required on this I think.
