--- Comment #13 from Chandradeep Dey <k...@chandradeepdey.com> --- (In reply to David Faure from comment #12) > Quoting > https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mime-apps-spec/mime-apps-spec-latest. > html : > > * Adding and removing associations between mimetypes and applications is > done with the following syntax in the mimeapps.list file: > [Added Associations] > > and, in the section "Default Application" > > * Note as well that the default application for a given type must be an > application that is associated with the type. This means that > implementations should either ensure that such an association exists or add > one explicitly when setting an application as the default for a type. > > What is described here breaks that last point, IIUC. > The fact that it works with other implementations is irrelevant. This is > what specs are for. I don't see why it would break the spec. In the paragraph you posted, "add one explicitly" is precisely what the [Added Associations] section is for. In fact, in the spec link you posted they have (emphasis mine)--- > The [Added Associations] group defines additional associations of > applications with mimetypes, *as if the .desktop file was listing this > mimetype in the first place.* Your interpretation does not allow for things such as setting a text editor as a default for a file it does not advertise compatibility with, which I find to be absurd. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
