** Summary changed: - Thunar open default not respecting mimetype + [SRU] Thunar open default not respecting mimetype
** Description changed: - A few files are defaulting to the wrong application. Up to date Utopic - Xubuntu install, clean installed. + [SRU] Thunar open default not respecting mimetype + + [Impact] + Thunar does not respect defaults per mimetype. This is an unintended consequence of glib >= 2.41. A patch has been distributed and verified in Debian and Vivid Vervet. + + [Test Case] + From Thunar. try opening a file that has several mimetype handlers. + + Expected: + Files open with whichever application is registered as its default handler. + + Actual: + The file may be opened in an application other than the default. + * Torrents open with Archive Manager instead of Transmission. + * PDFs open in GIMP + + [Regression Potential] + None. Fix verified in Debian and Vivid. + + === Original Report === + A few files are defaulting to the wrong application. Up to date Utopic Xubuntu install, clean installed. Currently torrents are defaulting to open with Archive Manager mp3's are currently defaulting to Easytag. For mp3 /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache originally was audio/x-mp3=parole.desktop I have since installed Clementine, Soundconverter and Easytag in that order. mimeinfo.cache now shows audio/x-mp3=easytag.desktop;parole.desktop;soundconverter.desktop;clementine.desktop; removing all except clementine makes no difference to what shows on the right click open with menu's pdf's were defaulting to Gimp. I edited /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache to remove gimp which worked for that ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: desktop-file-utils 0.22-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-23.30-generic 3.16.4 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-23-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Sun Oct 19 15:09:58 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-07-17 (93 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" - Alpha amd64 (20140717) SourcePackage: desktop-file-utils UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1382977 Title: [SRU] Thunar open default not respecting mimetype To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunar/+bug/1382977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
