Description mattator 2016-10-24 14:40:57 UTC

Created attachment 127515 [details] [review]
follow symlink

As I first reported here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/1614636
===
I have my dotfiles in a separate folder and I symlink some files, for instance ~/.config/mimeapps.list .

At first it appears as a symlink, then I run the following command:
"xdg-mime default qutebrowser.desktop text/html"
and the symlink gets overwritten as its own file.
===

I wonder if the following oneliner could be merged ?

Best regards
