Bug ID: 436407
Summary: Filetype (mimetype) association not correctly set for
apps which use glib/gio to open files
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_filetypes
Assignee: fa...@kde.org
Reporter: pos...@posteo.eu
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
At least on Manjaro, there are two tools for setting the association of file
types: xdg-open, which wraps kde5-open and gio. The latter is used by the glib,
which GTK apps like Dino use.
In the SystemSettings images like image/jpeg or image/png are linked to
Gwenview, which can be verified by
`xdg-mime query default image/jpeg`.
Unfortunately, this does not mean that GTKs follow this setting.
`gio mime image/png` yields for example
chromium.desktop
gimp.desktop
okularApplication_kimgio.desktop
org.kde.gwenview.desktop
which means that images are opened in Chromium or Gimp or Okular and if neither
of those three are available in Gwenview.
One could change this behaviour by setting `gio mime image/jpeg
org.kde.gwenview.desktop`
but would need to do so manually for each mimetype using the terminal.
IMHO the configuration for mimetype handling should be synchronized between
xdg-open (kde5-open) and gio to make it most convenient for the user. The
current situation may lead to unexpected results contradicting the settings in
SystemSettings.
