About
Mimeo uses MIMEtype file associations to determine which application should be used to open a file. It can either launch the application itself or print out the launcer command for other applications to use. It is also possible to use regular expressions to association arguments with applications. The most common example of this is to open URLs in browsers or associate file extensions with applications 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.
