MIME types and file types??”To handle different types of content that may be encountered
in the Nautilus window, you can set applications to respond based on MIME type
and file type. With a folder displayed, right-click a file for which you want to assign an
application. Click either Open With an Application or Open With a Viewer. If no application
or viewer has been assigned for the file type, click Associate Application to be able to
select an application. From the Add File Types window, you can add an application based
on the file extension and MIME type representing the file.
Drag-and-drop??”You can use drag-and-drop within the Nautilus window, between the
Nautilus and the desktop, or among multiple Nautilus windows. As other GNOME-compliant
applications become available, they are expected to also support the drag-and-drop feature.
If you would like more information on the Nautilus file manager, visit the GNOME Web site
(www.gnome.org/nautilus).
