Hello. I'm developing an application for desktop which consist on digital
treatment of images. The idea is not to open the terminal to launch the
program, but there's a little problem: I don't know how Nautilus know that
.jpg (or .png) files can be opened with my program, and what can I do to
get this.
Thanks to all!

Install a desktop file for your application, and add a MimeType= line to
it, listing the mimetypes your application can handle.
See
/usr/share/applications/gimp.desktop for inspiration

Sorry for taking so much time to reply.
My app has a .desktop file, but, what do you mean about "install a desktop
file"? Is not enough to copy the file to /usr/share/applications?
I had already changed the mimetipes of my app and this doesn't works.
Thanks for your help!

After changing mimetypes, and copying the file
to /usr/share/applications, you have to run update-desktop-database.

Thanks for your reply, but I have tried this command and even reboot the
system, and this doesn't works. Note that in Ubuntu, with the same file and
program, this steps you describe are enough to get what I want, but doesn't
work with fedora.
Thanks!

Can you post the .desktop file you use so we can look it over and try it
out?

This is the file:
- - -
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Pimagizer
Icon=/usr/share/pimagizer/pimagizer.svg
Comment=Resize images using Python
Comment[es]=Redimensione imágenes usando python
Exec=/usr/bin/pimagizer
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;
StartupNotify=False
MimeType=image/jpeg;image/png
- - -
I have tried with a lot of mimetypes, but it doesn't works with anyone.
Thanks

You are missing a semicolon at the end. Thats the way lists in desktop
files work. Compare Categories.

Ok. I got it. The semicolon wasn't the main problem: I haven't said in
"Exec" that my program accepts urls or filenames. I've solved changing the
line of Exec by this one:
Exec=/usr/bin/pimagizer %F
Thanks to all.
Bye
