Works with dolphin:amd64/xenial 4:16.04.3-0ubuntu2.1~ubuntu16.04~ppa1, so I
assume that's fixed for everybody.

If I understood the discussion correctly, this bug should have been fixed with
Dolphin 16.04.02. Is that indeed true? If yes, I am going to close this bug.

The KDE is using the Freedesktop standards & specifications:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/

The bug 354179 report has a link to the Freedesktop specification: 'Association
between MIME types and applications' -
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mime-apps-spec/mime-apps-spec-1.0.html

There is the lookup order for mimeapps.list.

The Dolphin 16.04.2 & kde-cli-tools 5.6.5 is saving the file associations to
the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mimeapps.list i.e $HOME/.config/mimeapps.list 

More docs of the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME: XDG Base Directory Specification -
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

Anyone cares to do some documentation and/or tell me which file is actually in
use / should be used / will be used in future versions? I replaced every
gpicview line in the mimeapps.list with the new application and everything
works as expected. So mimeapps.list is still in use and should be updated by
the "Open..." dialogue until support for this file is fully removed.

The ~/.local/share/apps/ is deprecated.
