====== MIME Type Editor ======

A Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) type identifies the format of a file. The MIME type enables applications to read the file. For example, a file manager can use the ''image/png'' MIME type to detect that a Portable Networks Graphic (PNG) should be opened with Ristretto.

With the **MIME Type Editor** application, you can view and modify the //Default Application// that is associated with a //Type//.
