Midnight Commander has been using geeqie for viewing images on my
system.  I did a world update last night.  Apparently image-viewing
responsibility has been handed over to /usr/bin/xdg-open which, on my
system, uses mupdf for jpg+jpeg and google-chrome-stable for png+gif
images.  WTF!?!?!?

/bin/sh /usr/bin/xdg-open /home/waltdnes/downloads/stranded.jpg
...invokes...
mupdf /home/waltdnes/downloads/stranded.jpg

/bin/sh /usr/bin/xdg-open /home/waltdnes/covidy/4bellcurve.png
...invokes...
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable /home/waltdnes/covidy/4bellcurve.png

  There's a right way, there's a wrong way, and then there's my way,  I
inserted the following stanza in ~/.config/mc.ext.ini before any mention
of image formats...

###Start custom stuff###
[image]
Regex=\.(gif|jpeg|jpg|png|jng|mng|tiff|xbm|xpm|ico|svg|pgm|ppm|netpbm)$
RegexIgnoreCase=true
Open=/usr/bin/geeqie %p
View=/usr/bin/geeqie %p
#####End custom stuff###

...and mc is now back to using geeqie for image display,
