Re: gnome-commander: missing command:gnome-file-types-properties

$ pacman -Ss mime
extra/gmime 2.2.3-1
    Core mime parsing library
extra/gnome-mime-data 2.4.2-1
    The base MIME and Application database for GNOME
extra/nail 11.25-2
    A mail user agent derived from Berkeley Mail 8.1 and contains builtin
    support for MIME messages and IPv6
extra/perl-file-mimeinfo 0.13-1
    Determine file type
extra/perl-mime-lite 3.01-1
    Perl module that provides lightweight MIME generator
extra/shared-mime-info 0.18-1

    Shared-mime info database editor, useful for changing MIME-type info in rox
    applications
community/pantomime 1.2.0pre2-1
    A set of Objective-C classes that model a mail system

Most probable ones are gmime and gnome-mime-data. Or maybe shared-mime-info

If you haven't done so, post a comment in gnome-commander's AUR page. Maybe the users that are using it will know the fix.

Re: gnome-commander: missing command:gnome-file-types-properties

This is suggested on the AUR page, but I thought I'd post here to clarify how it works. I had to install Nautilus, then (in the Nautilus fm) right-click a file of a certain type and choose File>Properties>Open With. This affects all files with that extension across all gnome applications, including gnome-commander.

I couldn't find any way of doing this by editing a config file directly. Maybe there is a way, but doing it through Nautilus is easier.

Re: gnome-commander: missing command:gnome-file-types-properties

I know this is more than 1.5 years later, but I just ran into the same problem (I'm using gnome-commander under XFCE, so there are some gnome applets missing).

According to http://www.nongnu.org/gcmd/doc.html , the MIME types and their associated apps can be reconfigured in mimeinfo.cache, which can be found in /usr/share/applications on Arch Linux.  Of course, it would be preferable to just right-click a file and set its default application in the gui.  Owell...

Hope someone finds this useful.

Hey neonpill,
Thanks for the tip, I'm using Gnome Commander 1.2.7 and strangely it behaves different to nautilus when I double-click a file.
I rearranged the order of the programs into that file and now everything works as I wanted it to.
