On fresh images file-browsers do not know how to open files and usually open a dialog with ALL applications available on the machine. This is not what users are used to when working with linux: For just one application installed per Mime-Type, the application is opened automatically.
To get a working MIME on desktop it needs two 'databases' on target: 1. Mime-Types: This is handled by mime.bbclass and creates database in /usr/share/mime/mime.cache. 2. Mime associations: A simple text-list of pairs Mime-Type <-> application in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache This patch series updates/implements/enhances both parts to get images work as expected. @Khem: This series creates many QA warnings for layers in meta-openembedded and a patch series fixing many was prepared [1]. Once this series get's applied (or you ask for it) I can send them out. [1] https://github.com/schnitzeltony/meta-openembedded/tree/work-2020-01 V1 -> V2: * Shelve global path export thingy * Add me as maintainer of itstool (let's consider 'ü' in my name as test case :) * Change "to to" to "to" in commit message * Build shared-mime-info from git to allow automated upgrades * mime-xdg.bbclass: Be prepared for packages as libreoffice: Desktop files installed are absolut symlinks broken for us. In case other projects do same: Offer asolution and guide recipe writers how to handle by generating warnings with instructions how to handle.
