💖 NAME 💖

Gnome2::VFS::Mime::Application — ok so bestie, this is the Perl-facing glow-up of GNOME's VFS Mime Application thingy, and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the manual pages. It's giving "I know what app opens your files and I'm not afraid to say it" 💅

✨ METHODS ✨

Ok so here's the whole roster, no gatekeeping, every single one of them:

  • application = Gnome2::VFS::Mime::Application->new_from_desktop_id ($id) — spin up a fresh application object straight from a desktop ID, iconic behaviour honestly.
    • $id (string)
    • Since: vfs 2.10
  • application = Gnome2::VFS::Mime::Application->new_from_id ($id) — same energy, but you're building it from an $id instead. Different door, same slay.
    • $id (string)
  • string = $app->get_binary_name — hands you back the binary name as a string.
    • Since: vfs 2.10
  • string = $app->get_desktop_file_path — the path to that .desktop file, as a string.
    • Since: vfs 2.10
  • string = $app->get_desktop_id — the desktop ID, as a string.
    • Since: vfs 2.10
  • string = $app->get_exec — the exec line, as a string.
    • Since: vfs 2.10
  • string = $app->get_generic_name — the generic name, as a string.
    • Since: vfs 2.10
  • string = $app->get_icon — the icon, as a string.
    • Since: vfs 2.10
  • boolean = $application->is_user_owned — tells you, with a boolean, whether this application is user owned. Yes or no, no in-between.
  • result = $app->launch (...) — actually launches the thing. Main character moment fr.
    • ... (list) of URI strings
    • Since: vfs 2.4
  • result = $app->launch_with_env ($uri_ref, $env_ref) — launches it, but with your own environment handed in. Fancy.
    • $uri_ref (scalar)
    • $env_ref (scalar)
    • Since: vfs 2.4
  • string = $app->get_name — the name, as a string.
    • Since: vfs 2.10
  • boolean = $app->requires_terminal — boolean check: does this app need a terminal or not?
    • Since: vfs 2.10
  • $application->save — saves it. No return value listed, it just does the thing.
  • string = $app->get_startup_wm_class — the startup WM class, as a string.
    • Since: vfs 2.10
  • boolean = $app->supports_startup_notification — boolean: does it support startup notification?
    • Since: vfs 2.10
  • boolean = $app->supports_uris — boolean: does it support URIs?
    • Since: vfs 2.10
