Shared configuration

As well as the private configuration data stored in the Configuration settings there is some shared configuration available for many applications.

Shared configuration in rox.sourceforge.net

MIME-icons
For each MIME type of the form media/subtype there may be an icon in rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-icons named media_subtype.png. If this exists then it is used in preference to the icon from the current icon theme. If a icon is not found either in MIME-icons or the icon theme then MIME-icons is checked for a generic icon of the name media.png
MIME-thumb
Thumbnail programs ordered by MIME type, as in the MIME-types directory. When ROX-Filer needs to generate a thumbnail for a file of type media/subtype it looks for an executable program or application with the name rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-thumb/media_subtype, falling back on ox.sourceforge.net/MIME-thumb/media if that is not found. If the program exists it is executed with three arguments:
rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-thumb/media_subtype /path/to/input/file /path/to/output/file size-in-pixels

See Thumbnails of videos and other file types.

MIME-types
The application set as the run action for each file type. When ROX runs a file of MIME type media/subtype it looks up an executable program, script or application called rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-types/media_subtype. If that is not found it then looks for rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-types/media. If a suitable program is found it is then executed.
URI
Handlers for launching URIs. When launching a URI of the form scheme:other-data ROX looks up an executable program, script or application called rox.sourceforge.net/URI/scheme. If a suitable program is found it is then executed with the URI as the sole argument. An exception is made for file: URIs which are always handled by ROX-Filer.
