About
Mimeo uses MIMEtype file associations to select an application for opening a file. It can also print out the MIMEtype strings and application commands for files. It is also possible to use a file to associate commands with regular expressions that are matched against the arguments. This can be used to open URLs in browsers or associate file extensions with commands irrespective of their MIMEtype.
Editing MIMEtypes
Mimeo is complementary to Mimeman, which can be used to create and remove MIMEtype associations. As Mimeman was written to be compatible with PCManFM, it can also be used to manage MIMEtype associations.
Association File Example
These are just a few quick examples of how to create associations using the associations file. See "mimeo --assoc-help" for more information.
