GtkAppChooser is an interface that can be implemented by widgets which
allow the user to choose an application (typically for the purpose of
opening a file). The main objects that implement this interface are
GtkAppChooserWidget, GtkAppChooserDialog and GtkAppChooserButton.
Applications are represented by GIO GAppInfo objects here.
GIO has a concept of recommended and fallback applications for a
given content type. Recommended applications are those that claim
to handle the content type itself, while fallback also includes
applications that handle a more generic content type. GIO also
knows the default and last-used application for a given content
type. The GtkAppChooserWidget provides detailed control over
whether the shown list of applications should include default,
recommended or fallback applications.
To obtain the application that has been selected in a GtkAppChooser,
use gtk_app_chooser_get_app_info().
