<title>Associate MIME types</title>
<links type="series" style="floatend">
<title>Launch your application</title>
</links>
<p>Associate files with your application, using MIME types.</p>
<p>If your application opens files of a certain type, such as PNG images, you
can add an association with the MIME type of the file. This is added to the
desktop file.</p>
<example>
<listing>
<title><file>myapplication.desktop</file></title>
<code>[Desktop Entry]
Name=My Application
Exec=myapplication
Type=Application
MimeType=image/png</code>
</listing>
</example>
<p>For this hypothetical application, <code>image/png</code> is listed as the
supported MIME type.</p>
<p>Custom MIME types can be added to the system-wide MIME database, but this
is outside the scope of this guide. The
<link href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/latest/">Shared
MIME-Info Database</link> specification for more details.</p>
