Applications Settings

Options to control application access to system features and resources are located in the Settings ➞ Applications tab.

Built-in Permissions

View the data and system services requested or required by an application. Permissions can include access to system devices, using the system's network connection, reading and writing to the file system, and the ability to change settings. Many applications include built-in permissions that cannot be modified by the user. View permissions granted to an application by clicking the Built-in Permissions button.

Integration

Disable or enable system-wide features used by an application. These features include the ability to appear in search, display notifications, and run in the background.

Default Handlers

Configure specific file MIME types and links handled by the application. Click an entry to display more information about the file types assigned to the application.

Clicking Unset will remove the file type association with the application. These associations can be restored using the File Manager or a command-line procedure.

To set a default application for a large number of similar file types, such as images, see the Default Applications section.

Usage

Display an application's disk usage. Click on the Storage button to view space used by the application itself, data created by the application, and temporary data cached by the application. Click Clear Cache to clear an application's temporary data.
