SYNOPSIS

       gnome-file-types-properties [gnome-std-options]

DESCRIPTION

       The  File Types and Programs preference tool allows you to specify how files of various types are created, displayed, and edited. For exam-
       ple, you can specify that if a file is a plain text file, the file is launched in a text editor.  Nautilus  and	other  GNOME  applications
       check  the  contents  of  a  file to determine the type of a file. If the first lines do not determine the  file type, then the application
       checks the file extension. See gnome-vfs-mime-magic(4) and gnome-vfs.applications(4) for more	  information.
