kulve your 'diagnostic' hildon-mime-summon2 is priceless! (which is good thats what i can afford)

Even though there is the 'first-load' issue with mime-open (vs mime-play?) in media player, it works perfectly if left open.

Thanks for releasing code as well... If you dont mind i would like to add this utility to next version of emelfm2 file manager, using it as a shim for opening in targets which are hildon (such as media player, image viewer, etc)

I hope bug2521 gets fixed but your workaround is useful for any shell/script user.

Any chance you could write a simple utility to do the inverse of this? For instance opening a file from hildon file manager would call your dispell (?) utility to convert into command line for non-hildonized targets such as... hmm lets say torrents? I realize the mime-registration is a lot of work but the base utility wouldnt have to know about that and wouldnt need to be rebuilt... so that could be worked out later (after of course a single test mime registration proves it works).

Thanks again- this really helps understand whats going on.
