I saw a similar problem in 16.04 with PDFs being opened with
ImageMagick. Trying to open With Document Viewer and set that as the
default made no change. I saw in mimeapps.list that there was both an
image/pdf and an applications/pdf entry. I removed the image/pdf entry
that pointed to ImageMagi
With .mp4 can add another that will cause this - video/x-m4v
So for example if a user sets Videos as default thru "Default Applications"
then these 3 are entered in mimeapps.list
video/mp4=
video/mp4v-es=
video/x-m4v=
Nautilus only sets the first one so if the other 2 exist then the
default for .

On a closer look I don't see any big issue here. I happened to choose the only
filetype as a test/example that *I've found* to be an issue - .mp4
When one uses ..Details > Default, ect on video there are these 2 lines
concerning .mp4 created -
video/mp4=
video/mp4v-es=
So when both lines exist
The issue seems to be an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody
having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by
following the instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please
tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we
I believe the bug here is that once you use System Settings > Details >
Default applications for audio or video you then cannot individually
change any related mime in nautilus > properties of a a/v filetype to a
new default.
Test case:
delete ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
Open system
In case you still need this:
$ ls -ld ~/.local/share/applications
drwx-- 2 suor suor 4096 Feb 17 21:06 /home/suor/.local/share/applications
$ ls -ld ~/.local/share/applications/*
-rw-r--r-- 1 suor suor 206 Feb 17 21:03
/home/suor/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
-rw-r--r-- 1 suor suo
I managed to break it again.
Here are the steps:
1. Delete "~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list".
2. Set VLC as default player for .avi files through nautilus.
3. Goto System Settings -> Details -> Default applications and set VLC player
to open video files.
4. Go back to nautilus and try t
Looks like it's something wrong with my
"~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list" config. After removing it I
am able to change associations back and forth.

What about "ls -ld ~/.local/share/applications" and the files in that
directory?

When I do "nautilus -q; nautilus" I immediately get:

Thank you for your bug report. Is that working on a guest session? If
you run "nautilus -q; nautilus" and try to do those change do you get
any warning? It could be a wrong permission on some file or directory
