Details¶

class GLib.BookmarkFile¶

GBookmarkFile lets you parse, edit or create files containing bookmarks.

Bookmarks refer to a URI, along with some meta-data about the resource pointed by the URI like its MIME type, the application that is registering the bookmark and the icon that should be used to represent the bookmark. The data is stored using the Desktop Bookmark Specification.

The syntax of the bookmark files is described in detail inside the Desktop Bookmark Specification, here is a quick summary: bookmark files use a sub-class of the XML Bookmark Exchange Language specification, consisting of valid UTF-8 encoded XML, under the <xbel> root element; each bookmark is stored inside a <bookmark> element, using its URI: no relative paths can be used inside a bookmark file. The bookmark may have a user defined title and description, to be used instead of the URI. Under the <metadata> element, with its owner attribute set to http://freedesktop.org, is stored the meta-data about a resource pointed by its URI. The meta-data consists of the resource’s MIME type; the applications that have registered a bookmark; the groups to which a bookmark belongs to; a visibility flag, used to set the bookmark as “private” to the applications and groups that has it registered; the URI and MIME type of an icon, to be used when displaying the bookmark inside a GUI.

Here is an example of a bookmark file: bookmarks.xbel

A bookmark file might contain more than one bookmark; each bookmark is accessed through its URI.

The important caveat of bookmark files is that when you add a new bookmark you must also add the application that is registering it, using [method`GLib`.BookmarkFile.add_application] or [method`GLib`.BookmarkFile.set_application_info]. If a bookmark has no applications then it won’t be dumped when creating the on disk representation, using [method`GLib`.BookmarkFile.to_data] or [method`GLib`.BookmarkFile.to_file].

New in version 2.12.

classmethod error_quark()[source]¶

Return type:: int

classmethod new()[source]¶

Returns:: an empty GLib.BookmarkFile
Return type:: GLib.BookmarkFile

Creates a new empty GLib.BookmarkFile object.

Use GLib.BookmarkFile.load_from_file(), GLib.BookmarkFile.load_from_data() or GLib.BookmarkFile.load_from_data_dirs() to read an existing bookmark file.

New in version 2.12.

add_application(uri, name, exec_)[source]¶

Parameters:

uri (str) – a valid URI
name (str or None) – the name of the application registering the bookmark or None
exec (str or None) – command line to be used to launch the bookmark or None

Adds the application with name and exec to the list of applications that have registered a bookmark for uri into self.

Every bookmark inside a GLib.BookmarkFile must have at least an application registered. Each application must provide a name, a command line useful for launching the bookmark, the number of times the bookmark has been registered by the application and the last time the application registered this bookmark.

If name is None, the name of the application will be the same returned by GLib.get_application_name(); if exec is None, the command line will be a composition of the program name as returned by GLib.get_prgname() and the “\%u” modifier, which will be expanded to the bookmark’s URI.

This function will automatically take care of updating the registrations count and timestamping in case an application with the same name had already registered a bookmark for uri inside self.

If no bookmark for uri is found, one is created.

New in version 2.12.

add_group(uri, group)[source]¶

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

True if the application’s meta-data was successfully changed.

Return type:

bool

Sets the meta-data of application name inside the list of applications that have registered a bookmark for uri inside self.

You should rarely use this function; use GLib.BookmarkFile.add_application() and GLib.BookmarkFile.remove_application() instead.

name can be any UTF-8 encoded string used to identify an application. exec can have one of these two modifiers: “\%f”, which will be expanded as the local file name retrieved from the bookmark’s URI; “\%u”, which will be expanded as the bookmark’s URI. The expansion is done automatically when retrieving the stored command line using the GLib.BookmarkFile.get_application_info() function. count is the number of times the application has registered the bookmark; if is < 0, the current registration count will be increased by one, if is 0, the application with name will be removed from the list of registered applications. stamp is the Unix time of the last registration; if it is -1, the current time will be used.

If you try to remove an application by setting its registration count to zero, and no bookmark for uri is found, False is returned and error is set to GLib.BookmarkFileError.URI_NOT_FOUND; similarly, in the event that no application name has registered a bookmark for uri, False is returned and error is set to GLib.BookmarkFileError.APP_NOT_REGISTERED. Otherwise, if no bookmark for uri is found, one is created.

Raises:

GLib.Error

Returns:

True if the application’s meta-data was successfully changed.

Return type:

bool
