Committed on 14/02/2024 at 09:15. Pushed by sitter into branch 'master'. kservice: remove InitialPreference Since this was a KDE specific feature it caused problems with interoperability. Applications based on other XDG implementations would entirely ignore it and by extension have a different idea of what application should be used to open a given mimetype. Instead we now rely only on the XDG provided facilities to manage preference. Specifically plasma-desktop is meant to ship a kde-mimeapps.list that encodes the Plasma default preferences and distributions are meant to ship *mimeapps.list to encode sensible preferences beyond that.

I forgot to add that KDE itself opens the correct application. It is Firefox that opened the wrong one. However, I was alerted on r/kde to the Firefox config settings: widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal* which if all set to 1 force the use of portal and hence KDE associations. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Yes but glib applications inside plasma will still open the "wrong" application since glib can't know InitialPreference. We would either need to generate a kde-mimeapps.list that respects the order or maybe more elegant teach update-desktop-database InitialPreference so in mimeinfo.cache the order is what we (KDE) expect and not alphabetically. > But Gnome's global file was supposed to be called gnome-mimeapps.list, not > defaults.list. The seem to carry it has deprecated for backwards compat https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/main/gio/gdesktopappinfo.c#L1021 Maybe it could only be read in GNOME session guarded by an env var. >Isn't it the distro's fault of providing the legacy file?

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305136 David Redondo changed: What|Removed |Added CC||k...@david-redondo.de --- Comment #26 from David Redondo --- I investigated this because Firefox was choosing gedit for plain/text instead of kate. For me the problem was not that we do not provide or generate a default mimeapps list or a that GLib is not following our 'InitialPreference' but my distro was providing a /usr/share/applications/defaults.list file which sets gedit as default. This file is not in the spec but something histotical and glib specific. With this file removed firefox correctly chooses kate . So there are two issues that we have a non-standard key that gio doesn't support and gio has a non-standard file that we do not know about. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305136 --- Comment #22 from nyanpasu64 --- One detail I failed to realize or mention earlier, is that in GTK file managers like Thunar (and probably Nautilus), opening a file in a particular app (even without setting it as default) actually sets a "soft" default file association by reordering the file format's entry in mimeapps.list [Added Associations]. For example, if you open Thunar, right-click a .zip file, and pick Open With -> Open With "Archive Manager" (or pick "Open With Other Application..." and in the dialog *don't* check "Use as default for this kind of file"), then ~/.config/mimeapps.list [Added Associations] gets a new entry `application/zip=org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop;...`, where org.gnome.FileRoller (Archive Manager) comes first. I think this is accomplished through g_app_info_set_as_last_used_for_type() (https://docs.gtk.org/gio/method.AppInfo.set_as_last_used_for_type.html -> g_desktop_app_info_set_as_last_used_for_type https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/62a9a8a660fadf2355342b1d95c539432c666fe1/gio/gdesktopappinfo.c#L3865). KDE/Qt's Dolphin respects the "soft" default association from [Added Associations], but does not set [Added Associations] when you open a file in an app. In Thunar, if you open properties of a .zip file and set a default *there*, then a [Default Applications] entry gets created (probably g_app_info_set_as_default_for_type() https://docs.gtk.org/gio/method.AppInfo.set_as_default_for_type.html). At this point, Thunar's "Open With" menu still reorders the format's entry in [Added Associations], but the order's first entry is ignored in favor of the association in [Default Applications]. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
