7.4.3 Editing MIME Types<br />

MIME types determine which application should open a file when clicked in a Web or<br />

file browser. The actual file type and the MIME type <strong>of</strong> a file are closely associated<br />

with each other. An HTML file has the html file type and would be registered to have<br />

a text/html MIME type. Nautilus has built-in support for most <strong>of</strong> the common<br />

MIME types and proposes the appropriate application when you choose to open a file.<br />

In this case, it would propose a Web browser.<br />

To edit a MIME type:<br />

1 In a Nautilus window, right-click a file <strong>of</strong> the MIME type to change.<br />
