Created attachment 45039 [details] [review] patch against git head Joe Ebel sent a straightforward patch to this, here is a git-formatted version against master. I'm working on fixing mime handling, and part of that involves making xdg-utils not touch defaults.list at all, but apply modifications to mimeapps.list instead. See also, http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/mime-actions-spec In particular, "However, note that the next section provides another solution for ISV applications which want to ensure they become the default application after being installed: they can edit [or create] the global mimeapps.list file in /usr/share/applications. This is also a solution for system administrators who wish to set up a default application ordering for their users." That said, the same issue would apply to mimeapps.list too I suppose, so thanks for the patch. On second thought, I'll go ahead and apply the patch, making such an invasive change this late in the 1.1 dev cycle is not a good idea. Thanks! |
