Linux - recommended apps to open a file -
 In Ubuntu Linux, assume I'll create a simple text file. When I right click on that file, there is an option to open  with other apps  it will show a list of  recycled applications  which can open a text file. 
My question is how does the OS know which app can open that file?
Edit : What do app developers need to do to make this candidate? I also have to say that OS verifies it in any way (the developer has specified the app to open a specific file format); For example, a video gaming application might refer to opening a text file itself, but when the user tries to use it, there will be a problem.
 Your app's  .desktop  file with your code in the other code Try to create in the  dialog to open it.  .desktop  should look something like this 
  [desktop entry] encoding = UTF-8 name = & lt; AppName & gt; Comment = Some details about the application Exec = & lt; AppName & gt; % U Terminal = true type = application icon = / usr / share / pixmaps / & lt; AppName & gt; .svg Categories = Applications; Utility; Reader editor; StartupNotify = True MimeType = Text / plain; NoDisplay = true    to do this  ~ / .local / share / applications / & lt; AppName & gt; Save as .desktop  and open the application to be automatically selected as  other application  as the default application. There are many options for 
  .desktop  files but it is important to know what they meant. 
 provides a very good guide and explanation for creating your  .esctop  files and all possible parameters that you can use on them so that you can enter special  There is a doubt about creating .desktop  file You can go to the site and see examples of there. 
  Note: -  Not sure if OS is playing a video or not, if it does, then it will verify with  MimeType  and if The app has  txt / plain  and this one video player will fail, but then I'm not sure on this. / P>
