EDITED TO ADD: Ok I just went and specifically set .jpg to open in Ristretto in MIME Type Editor. Now I can use 'open with' in XnConvert, close it, doubleclick a .jpg and it opens in Ristretto. So the 'fix' for this is to specifically set a default in MIME Type Editor. Presumably this means this behaviour is by-design (but I'd also humbly offer that it isn't very clear to the user). It also sounds like the fallback idea mentioned above might be what's happening. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Xfce-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs
