Bug 852242 – net-ftp/filezilla-3.58.0 - need add "ftp://" scheme handler into ".desktop" file

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bogdan 2022-06-15 23:19:58 UTC]

I click "ftp://" link in chromium.
Chromium send this link to xdg-open.
xdg-open see into ".desktop" files and find mime handler "x-scheme-handler/ftp".
At now, in my system only Falkon browser has this handler.
But I want to open "ftp://" links in Filezilla program.

Need only add this line into filezilla.desktop file:
> MimeType=x-scheme-handler/ftp;

Query current "ftp://" scheme handler in xdg-open:
  $ xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/ftp

Set custom handler as default:
  $ xdg-mime default filezilla.desktop x-scheme-handler/ftp


Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
"ftp://" links in xdg-open MUST be opened in filezilla program

Created attachment 785561 [details, diff]
patch for filezilla.desktop file

This patch allows to use filezilla as mime handler for ftp:// scheme.

[Comment 2 Bogdan 2022-06-15 23:30:52 UTC]

Command 'xdg-mime default filezilla.desktop x-scheme-handler/ftp' set filezilla program as default handler for "ftp://" links even if filezilla.desktop file does not contain MimeType value.

So, changes in filezilla.desktop - is not important for me now.

But for users, who does not know linux very well, this adding MimeTypes into desktop file - is a good idea, which helps to use linux without a troubles.

Please, add MimeTypes entry into filezilla.desktop file.

Thanks for the report, that looks like valid change and thanks for also filling it upstream (hopefully it will be added there)

In the meantime let me add that in tree
