            <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>().
