Ok, here is what I did that works. cd ~/.local/share/ mv mime bu-mime
Try to open an existing .png and it fails Right-click/properties/ and choose something other than Image Viewer. It then opens. Repeat and set back to Image Viewer. It works. The same works for .jpg and .ogg. Download fresh .png. It opens without doing anything. The question is: What is in ~/.local/share/mime that is causing the problem. I assume that some of that stuff in there is useful and should be there.
