i have added a fix in the master branch to use low-priorities mimetype associations in /etc/mailcap. > However it won't fix this problem because > desktop environments (including xdg-open and gnome-open) don't read > /etc/mailcap, they read the mimeapps.list files.

[1] is quite explicit: there are no priorities... anyhow, your answer gave me two clues: - the good thing about that is, that i can now easily fix the problem for me, by adding the following to ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list: [Removed Associations] inode/directory=easytag.desktop; - the bad thing is that this is on a per-user basis, and cannot be handled by the package. most likely the proper way would be to ensure that easytag does not appear in the [Default Applications] section (and that at least one proper filebrowser does appear in this section). but it also seems that Debian does not really maintain a mimeapps.list, which makes it rather hard to use :-( fgmadsr IOhannes [1] https://wiki.debian.org/MIME#Application_association
