<a class="link" href="class-gioappinfo.html" title="gio.AppInfo"><code class="classname">gio.AppInfo</code></a>
and <a class="link" href="class-gioapplaunchcontext.html" title="gio.AppLaunchContext"><code class="classname">gio.AppLaunchContext</code></a>
are used for describing and launching applications installed on the system.
</p><p>
As of GLib 2.20, URIs will always be converted to POSIX paths (using
<code class="methodname"><a class="link" href="class-giofile.html#method-giofile--get-path" title="gio.File.get_path">gio.File.get_path</a></code>()) when using
<code class="methodname"><a class="link" href="class-gioappinfo.html#method-gioappinfo--launch" title="gio.AppInfo.launch">gio.AppInfo.launch</a></code>()
even if the application requested an URI and not a POSIX path. For example for an desktop-file
based application with Exec key totem %U and a single URI, sftp://foo/file.avi, then /home/user/.gvfs/sftp
on foo/file.avi will be passed. This will only work if a set of suitable GIO extensions (such as gvfs 2.26
compiled with FUSE support), is available and operational; if this is not the case, the URI will be passed
unmodified to the application. Some URIs, such as mailto:, of course cannot be mapped to a POSIX path
(in gvfs there's no FUSE mount for it); such URIs will be passed unmodified to the application.
</p><p>
Specifically for gvfs 2.26 and later, the POSIX URI will be mapped back to the GIO URI in the
<a class="link" href="class-giofile.html" title="gio.File"><code class="classname">gio.File</code></a> constructors
(since gvfs implements the GVfs extension point). As such, if the application needs to examine the URI,
it needs to use
<code class="methodname"><a class="link" href="class-giofile.html#method-giofile--get-uri" title="gio.File.get_uri">gio.File.get_uri</a></code>()
or similar on
<a class="link" href="class-giofile.html" title="gio.File"><code class="classname">gio.File</code></a>.
In other words, an application cannot assume that the URI passed to e.g.
<code class="methodname"><a class="link" href="class-giofile.html#constructor-giofile" title="Constructor">gio.File</a></code>() constructor
is equal to the result of
<code class="methodname"><a class="link" href="class-giofile.html#method-giofile--get-uri" title="gio.File.get_uri">gio.File.get_uri</a></code>().
