Public bug reported: mimeapps.list has changed
It used to be in .local/share/applications/ . Now it's in .config/ . "xdg-mime query default" reads from both locations, but no "xdg-mime default NEWSETTING" can ever overwrite a setting in .config/mimeapps.list . It writes to .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list only. ** Affects: xdg-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xdg-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1518052 Title: xdg-mime can read defaults but always not set them Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: mimeapps.list has changed It used to be in .local/share/applications/ .
