That did it. Thanks! Any idea what might have put the entries there in the first place?
I see that the directory has *not* been automatically been recreated, so there must have been something I did which caused it to be created ... Other than 'update-mime-database' that is, since I did not run that until after the problem occurred (at the suggestion of another source). And is that "database" deprecated in favor of another store for that information? Obviously, the associations must be stored somewhere ... I could research this myself, but since you seem to understand the situation, I thought you'd know off the top of your head. ;) -- Can't add new wallpapers using gnome interface and Images (like jpeg) are not detected as it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258081 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
