====================
The :ref:`mime-xdg <ref-classes-mime-xdg>` class generates the proper
post-install and post-remove (postinst/postrm) scriptlets for packages
that install ``.desktop`` files containing ``MimeType`` entries.
These scriptlets call ``update-desktop-database`` to add the MIME types
to the database of MIME types handled by desktop files.
Thanks to this class, when users open a file through a file browser
on recently created images, they don't have to choose the application
to open the file from the pool of all known applications, even the ones
that cannot open the selected file.
If you have recipes installing their ``.desktop`` files as absolute
symbolic links, the detection of such files cannot be done by the current
implementation of this class. In this case, you have to add the corresponding
package names to the :term:`MIME_XDG_PACKAGES` variable.
