Description alfa_pub 2015-06-05 10:48:28 UTC

Description of problem:
After installing e.g. Fedora-Live-MATE the default applications in /usr/share/applications/defaults.list are those from Gnome and not those from Mate.
Therefore e.g. xdg-open does not behave as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora-Live-Mate
2. use e.g. xdg-open to open an image

Actual results:
firefox is used as fallback as eog is not available

Expected results:
eom should be used.

Additional info:
If it is not possible to ship different versions of this file, it could be replaced by a symlink to desktop specific files, e.g. mate.list or gnome.list.
This would allow to at least easily change it for the current desktop without going trough the trouble to change everything by hand.

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2015-06-05 11:14:51 UTC

desktop's specific defaults (e.g. mate), need to be shipped as
/usr/share/applications/mate-mimeapps.lst

As far as I know, mate does not yet do that (it probably should).

Comment 2 alfa_pub 2015-06-05 13:30:58 UTC

It seems to me that no desktop does this:
$ yum provides /usr/share/applications/*.l*st 
Loaded plugins: langpacks

     ...: information database
Repo        : fedora
Matched from:

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2015-06-05 13:39:06 UTC

Exactly, the fact that is not provided (yet) is the problem.  (F22 does)

though, after speaking with some mate maintainers today, apparently providing a mate-mimeapps.list doesn't work on f21 for some reason.  so, we may have to come up with some alternative solution there.

Comment 4 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2015-06-17 22:17:13 UTC

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
