--- Comment #4 from Bzzz <b...@gmx.net> --- Dolphin 16.04.2 is in beta stage, I guess? Mine is from the PPA, so I thought this is the most recent stable. My ~/.config/mimeapps.list only has these (suspicious) entries: [Added Associations] text/css=kwrite.desktop; text/plain=kwrite-2.desktop; [Default Applications] text/css=kwrite.desktop; text/plain=kwrite-2.desktop; text/x-arduino=arduino-arduinoide.desktop ...and is also on 644 rights with owner root. Something must have gone wrong with the Ubuntu 14.04 -> 16.04 LTS upgrade, I don't know why any file inside a user dir should be owned by root. I have applied the quick fix by Serhiy Zahoriya from the linked bug: Merging the ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list into the ~/.config/mimeapps.list, deleting the first one, then linking via ln -sf ~/.config/mimeapps.list ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list (just in case) Changing a file association via the "Open..." menu now changes the mimeapps.list, which leads to a permanent change in the tool used for this file type. This is now expected behaviour. Thanks Rog131 - and maybe someone can knit this procedure into a fix for dolphin? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
