Description Karel Volný 2016-12-01 11:29:23 UTC
Description of problem:
After installing qmmp, the removable media applet opens my media in qmmp instead of in PCManFM, and there doesn't seem to be any way of changing that.

While it is possible that qmmp might be blamed here[*], still I find it very annoying that the applet properties do not allow to choose which action should be executed.

[*] Well, to be honest, I do not see how ... qmmp just adds itself as handler for various mimetypes (including e.g. inode/directory) via several .desktop files, but installing these doesn't mean that they have to/should become default.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lxqt-panel-0.11.0-2.fc25.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
(in LxQt)
1. yum install qmmp
2. connect some file gadget
3. click on removable devices applet in the panel
4. click on the respective device

Actual results:
qmmp opens with the contents of the file gadget enqueued

Expected results:
pcmanfm-qt opens showing the root directory of the file gadget

This is obviously a feature request and you should consider to report that to upstream.

I'm not 100% sure about upstream, as I do not know the algorithm how the handler is chosen and if it can or can not be influenced by distribution (Fedora) behaviour - where the files are installed or whatever

from my POV, opening all media in music player is clearly a bug

asking for an interface to configure the behaviour, well, yep, definitely a feature request but that is not the main point of this report

if this - the main point that the inode association has wrong order of preference - is not something to be resolved at distro level, then please act as a proxy to upstream ... I believe users are not expected to get involved with each and every software project individually

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:04:34 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:06:10 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
