Parameters
klass	Undocumented
mimetype	the mime-type of the file (e.g. "text/html")
nodisplay	if `True` also entries that have the `NoDisplay` flag are included

a list of `Application` objects that are known to be able to handle this file type

@classmethod
def set_default_application(klass, mimetype, application): (source)

Set the default application to open a file with a specific mimetype. Updates the applications/defaults.list file. As a special case when you set the default to None it will remove the entry from defauts.list allowing system defaults to be used again.

mimetype	the mime-type of the file (e.g. "text/html")
application	an `Application` object or `None`

@staticmethod
def create(mimetype, Name, Exec, **param): (source)

Create a new usercreated desktop entry which defines a custom command to handle a certain file type.

Note that the name under which this definition is stored is not the same as Name. Check the 'key' attribute of the returned object if you want the name to retrieve this application later.

Parameters
mimetype	the file mime-type to handle with this command
Name	the name to show in e.g. the "Open With.." menu
Exec	the command to run as string (will be split on whitespace, so quote arguments that may contain a space).
**param	any additional keys for the desktop entry
Returns
the `DesktopEntryFile` object with some sensible defaults for a user created application entry.

@staticmethod
def get_application(name): (source)

Get an application by name. Will search installed ".desktop" files of the same name

Parameters
name	the application name (e.g. "firefox"). As a special case "webbrowser" maps to a `WebBrowser` application instance and "startfile" to a `StartFile` application instance
Returns
an `Application` object or `None`
