Bug ID: 16390
Summary: exo-preferred-applications not properly setting mime
types
Classification: Xfce Core
Product: Exo
Version: 0.12.11
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Medium
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: Exo 0.12
Unless I am mistaken, exo-preferred-applications is not setting MIME types in
mimeapps.list.
As a consequence if a web browser like Firefox set itself as default, it
overrides some of the settings exo-preferred-applications.
Firefox writes in $HOME/.config/mimeapps.list
[Default Applications]
x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop
x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop
x-scheme-handler/ftp=firefox.desktop
x-scheme-handler/chrome=firefox.desktop
text/html=firefox.desktop
application/x-extension-htm=firefox.desktop
application/x-extension-html=firefox.desktop
application/x-extension-shtml=firefox.desktop
application/xhtml+xml=firefox.desktop
application/x-extension-xhtml=firefox.desktop
application/x-extension-xht=firefox.desktop
[Added Associations]
x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/ftp=firefox.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/chrome=firefox.desktop;
text/html=firefox.desktop;
application/x-extension-htm=firefox.desktop;
application/x-extension-html=firefox.desktop;
application/x-extension-shtml=firefox.desktop;
application/xhtml+xml=firefox.desktop;
application/x-extension-xhtml=firefox.desktop;
application/x-extension-xht=firefox.desktop;
Without this configuration, Firefox does not recognize being set by default.
The odd consequent behavior is that some applications would launch Firefox and
others would launch the web browser set in exo. This makes the
exo-preferred-applications a bit "misleading"
(https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7277) or "broken".
