Package: baobab
Version: 3.18.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I installed baobab while running mate. I was under the impression that
baobab runs when I call it/use it explicitly and not run when I'm
trying to use a file-manager, in this case caja. Please let me know if
there is a way to help you. I looked at the man-page as well as the
upstream page but nothing jumped at me.

Please consider which package you report bugs against.
What you're currently reporting is that baobab work.... NOT A BUG! :P

I'm reassigning this bug report to MATE, but this means now this
bug reports misses all relevant meta-data added by reportbug.
Please followup to this bug report with that so the MATE maintainers
have the information they need to deal with this issue and remove
the moreinfo tag while doing so.

From what I can see the mate-session-manager sets the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
environment variable, see:
http://codesearch.debian.net/results/XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP%20package%3Amate-session-manager/page_0

... while at the same time it doesn't provide defaults.list et.al. in
the relevant location. This means one of the applications matching
the mime type will be used at "random" (and other kinds of unrelated
breakage from the rest of the missing files).

cf. gnome-session-common and xfce4-session

this issue has been on my list for quite a while... Unfortunately, I only discovered this during the freeze period of jessie (or even after that, can't remember exactly).

I am about to fix this in mate-session-manager the same way that it is done in gnome-session. Thanks for inspiration on this!


Look forward to clearing this up.

Me too. Please file bug reports against mate for mate issues in the future.
We're busy enough as it is on the Gnome side without having to also
work on fixing MATE.

@Shirish: with future releases of MATE 1.10, you can configure your default apps in /etc/mate/defaults.list

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson

Mike
