     1.4 +A service that allows applications to request some extended actions for a list
     1.5 +of files depending on their mimetypes and some other constraints. Any user can
     1.6 +extend their applications by adding custom actions.
     1.7 +
     1.8 +Similar to thunar-actions but distributed via dbus, any application can take
     1.9 +advantage of this service. extended-actions use traditional desktop files and
    1.10 +extend its format to configure special action(s) on files. Unity already
    1.11 +extended the desktop file application format with its quicklist.
    1.12 +
    1.13 +Maybe one day this same application format will be extended at the glib level
    1.14 +within GAppInfo or in a new class or maybe a super daemon would arise providing
    1.15 +all the informations about applications and their new uses case. And this
    1.16 +service would be obsolete.
    1.17 +
    1.18 +This project is the continuation of the work i already started in contractor.
    1.19 +
    1.20 +extended-actions already provide a list of actions in
    1.21 +/usr/share/extended-actions.
    1.22 +Any user can define some custom actions in ~/.local/share/extended-actions
    1.23 +
    1.24 +And if u have some good actions files don't hesitate to contact me i may include
    1.25 +them by default.
