You don't know that. As Marco already explained, xdg-mime is likely the underlying tool that was used to make the change however it was triggered. Just because you are not personally familiar with it does not mean that it's wrong. If you were personally familiar with every part of your operating ystsme then you would never need any assistance from anyone. > I spent over twenty years in QA/QC (even if hardware not software). > That gives a certain mindset. Really odd then that you have not learned that one program can call another. Since you don't know what happened, we cannot easily guess which user-facing frontend made the change to your MIME type associations, but you have been given instructions on how to change it to what you want. > Suggestions please. I suggest to stop assuming you know better than everyone else when you ask for help. Thanks, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
