Sorry Bruce, it appeared during a long series of searches for mimeapps.list and mimeinfo.cache information. I tried to retrace my footsteps and here is one link which I definitely visited (though it doesn't look too familiar today) which says the same thing... http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-

I am guessing the extended search for the mimeapps.list files will work for Bruce. I searched in vain for any sign of mimeinfo.cache in any Mageia rpm. Then I discovered (thankyou Google) that the file is created when you run update-desktop-database. It would appear that some desktops are more lik

Incidentally, I have a mimeapps.list at /usr/share/applications which contains only an [Added Associations] section with what looks like Mageia-specific entries for www browsers, text editors and a package manager. -- Live

Hmm, I could be wrong here but I don't think this works for LXDE. There is no mimeinfo.cache file in ~/.local/share/applications/ (in fact according to mlocate there is no such file anywhere) there is a mimeapps.list file that looks like this: [Default Applications] text/plain=le
