I'm trying to add a mime type and using these instructions, as i have in the past: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1139

for starters, defaults.list gets overwritten which is new/random, but either way i can put it in .local too.

anyways, the new application im trying to set up is set up fine and appears in menu>all applications and i can run stuff into it with a shortcut, but it wont appear in nemos preferences for a file's "open with" how can i get it to appear there?

figured it out...

you need to use mimeapps.list not defaults.list, and your rules go under a heading of [Default Applications] in the file, which can go in either /usr/share/local/applications or /home/.local/share/applications
