42 * @short_description: Application information and launch contexts
43 * @include: gio/gio.h
44 * @see_also: #GAppInfoMonitor
46 * #GAppInfo and #GAppLaunchContext are used for describing and launching
47 * applications installed on the system.
49 * As of GLib 2.20, URIs will always be converted to POSIX paths
50 * (using g_file_get_path()) when using g_app_info_launch() even if
51 * the application requested an URI and not a POSIX path. For example
52 * for an desktop-file based application with Exec key `totem
53 * %U` and a single URI, `sftp://foo/file.avi`, then
54 * `/home/user/.gvfs/sftp on foo/file.avi` will be passed. This will
55 * only work if a set of suitable GIO extensions (such as gvfs 2.26
56 * compiled with FUSE support), is available and operational; if this
57 * is not the case, the URI will be passed unmodified to the application.
58 * Some URIs, such as `mailto:`, of course cannot be mapped to a POSIX
59 * path (in gvfs there's no FUSE mount for it); such URIs will be
60 * passed unmodified to the application.
62 * Specifically for gvfs 2.26 and later, the POSIX URI will be mapped
63 * back to the GIO URI in the #GFile constructors (since gvfs
64 * implements the #GVfs extension point). As such, if the application
65 * needs to examine the URI, it needs to use g_file_get_uri() or
66 * similar on #GFile. In other words, an application cannot assume
67 * that the URI passed to e.g. g_file_new_for_commandline_arg() is
68 * equal to the result of g_file_get_uri(). The following snippet
69 * illustrates this:
71 * |[
72 * GFile *f;
73 * char *uri;
75 * file = g_file_new_for_commandline_arg (uri_from_commandline);
77 * uri = g_file_get_uri (file);
78 * strcmp (uri, uri_from_commandline) == 0;
79 * g_free (uri);
81 * if (g_file_has_uri_scheme (file, "cdda"))
82 * {
83 * // do something special with uri
84 * }
85 * g_object_unref (file);
86 * ]|
88 * This code will work when both `cdda://sr0/Track 1.wav` and
89 * `/home/user/.gvfs/cdda on sr0/Track 1.wav` is passed to the
90 * application. It should be noted that it's generally not safe
91 * for applications to rely on the format of a particular URIs.
92 * Different launcher applications (e.g. file managers) may have
93 * different ideas of what a given URI means.

1267 * @short_description: Monitor application information for changes
1269 * #GAppInfoMonitor is a very simple object used for monitoring the app
1270 * info database for changes (ie: newly installed or removed
1271 * applications).
1273 * Call g_app_info_monitor_get() to get a #GAppInfoMonitor and connect
1274 * to the "changed" signal.
1276 * In the usual case, applications should try to make note of the change
1277 * (doing things like invalidating caches) but not act on it. In
1278 * particular, applications should avoid making calls to #GAppInfo APIs
1279 * in response to the change signal, deferring these until the time that
1280 * the data is actually required. The exception to this case is when
1281 * application information is actually being displayed on the screen
1282 * (eg: during a search or when the list of all applications is shown).
1283 * The reason for this is that changes to the list of installed
1284 * applications often come in groups (like during system updates) and
1285 * rescanning the list on every change is pointless and expensive.
1287 * Since: 2.40
1291 * GAppInfoMonitor:
1293 * The only thing you can do with this is to get it via
1294 * g_app_info_monitor_get() and connect to the "changed" signal.
