[Bug 1769420] Re: Odd lxqt-config-file-associations for .jpg and .pdf

[Scott Cowles Jacobs]

Having now installed the 05/25 daily of Cosmic (18.10) in my test partition,
I can point out several odd file associations:
Text files (.txt .h .cpp ...) default to LibreOffice Writer, not
FeatherPad.

.pdf and .md (which appears to be a type of text file) default to E-book Viewer,
not qpdfview and FeatherPad, respectively.

-

Some things seem to have been mostly fixed:
Images now come up as LXImage.
Most audio/video come up as either Enqueue in SMPlayer or SMPlayer (but .mp3 
files are associated with Audacious).
(I imagine all audio/video ought to be "Enqueue in ..." OR all "SMPlayer", 
depending on whether one thinks opening a song/video should automatically add 
to a sort-of "live-playlist", or should automatically interrupt what is 
currently playing in favor of what was just clicked-upon.)

(By the way: where do the original file associations get stored?
I know that when they are changed by a user, they are put in the user's 
~/.config/mimeapps.list, but where is the original master list stored?
(I did try to info or man lxqt-config-file-associations, where that info would 
probably be discribed, but there is apparently no manpage for it.))
