# Midnight Commander file associations (public baseline).
#
# mc reads a SINGLE mc.ext.ini; this user copy fully replaces the system one
# (they are not merged), so it must also carry the archive entries we keep.
#
# Policy: Enter (Open) on an archive mounts it as a virtual filesystem (mc
# built-in, no external helper). Every other file falls through to [Default],
# which runs `xdg-open` -- so the app is whatever the XDG mimeapps default
# resolves to (set those in the private inventory's xdg.mimeApps). One source of
# truth, shared with every other launcher; nothing app-specific baked in here.
#
# Note: office documents (.docx/.odt/.xlsx/...) are ZIP containers, so they are
# deliberately absent from the [zip] entry below -- otherwise Enter would mount
# them as archives instead of handing them to LibreOffice via xdg-open.
#
# Override contract (this is a types.lines option shipped as mkBefore): append a
# same-named section to override one key -- mc merges same-named sections and
# the last key wins -- e.g. add a [Default] with a different Open to change the
# fallback, or add [pdf] Type=^PDF / Open=mupdf %f & to force one type to a
# specific app. lib.mkForce "..." replaces this baseline wholesale.

### Everything else: hand off to the desktop's configured default app ###

# `&` backgrounds xdg-open so mc's shell returns and the launched GUI is orphaned
# to init. Hyprland only swallows the terminal when the new window's parent-PID
# chain still has a foot ancestor (getSwallower in Hyprland's Window.cpp), so an
# orphaned app opens as its own tile instead of swallowing mc (zathura, imv, ...).
# %f MUST stay unquoted: mc already backslash-escapes the path, so quoting turns
# those backslashes literal and breaks filenames with spaces.
# Redirect stdout/stderr to /dev/null: `&` backgrounds but leaves the app's fds on
# mc's terminal, so a chatty app paints over the mc pane and looks like a broken
# swallow. Tradeoff: this also discards any real diagnostics when an app fails to
# open a file. To keep a breadcrumb, swap /dev/null for a log file, e.g.
# `>>$XDG_STATE_HOME/mc-open.log 2>&1`.
