[Bug 1769420] Re: Odd lxqt-config-file-associations for .jpg and .pdf

[Walter Lapchynski]

** Tags removed: bionic
** Tags added: cosmic

** Package changed: lxqt-config (Ubuntu) => lubuntu-default-settings
(Ubuntu)

** Changed in: lubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu)
       Status: Expired => Triaged

** Summary changed:

- Odd lxqt-config-file-associations for .jpg and .pdf
+ missing defaults.list for cosmic

** Description changed:

- I have Lubuntu Next 18.04
- 
- I do not know if the Lubuntu team modifies the file associations to match the 
release,
- or if the file associations are an LXQt default and are left intact until the 
user
- installs the Distro and modifies them.
- I don't even know if the associations are modified if one installs (or 
removes) an application package.
- Therefore, I don't know if this is the right place to report this or not.
- 
- At some point after I installed Lubuntu Next, and some favorite
- applications to supplement or replace those in the default install, I
- noticed some strange file associations...
- 
- A .pdf file currently is associated with LibreOffice Draw (which is unable to 
open it, and reports "This PDF file is encrypted and can't be opened. ")
- I would have expected an association with qpdfview (which opens the file just 
fine, as expected).
- 
- Although I have since apparently fixed it, .jpg files were associated with 
Firefox.
- Since Firefox was not originally installed, I might guess that the 
association was with a generic browser, which originally pointed to Falkon, but 
which the installation of Firefox then switched to that browser.
- In any event, I might have expected an association with LXImage, as that is 
LXQt's image viewer.
- 
- [There also was some weird association with e-book-viewer(or -editor), but I 
negligently managed not to write that down.  It either was .txt or .odt]

+ Previous to 18.10, there was an extensive defaults.list provided in
+ lubuntu-default-settings. In lieu of this, the one from default-file-
+ utils in /usr/share/applications takes precedence and it has many
+ inappropriate settings for Lubuntu. We ship /etc/xdg/xdg-
+ Lubuntu/mimeapps.list but it is nowhere near complete. Consistent with
+ the current XDG spec, we should probably use mimeapps.list.

** Summary changed:

- missing defaults.list for cosmic
+ missing mimeapps.list for cosmic
