Description James 2011-12-18 20:34:21 UTC 
Description of problem:
When another application which can open JPEGs, PNGs, ... is installed (for example, panoglview, rawtherapee), the system-default association for such files is transferred to that application, instead of remaining with eog (which for all purposes seems the saner choice than a panorama viewer or raw image processing tool).

This may be a fault with the respective other applications' desktop integration, but eog seems to be the common thread. Please re-assign as necessary.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
eog-3.2.1-2.fc16.x86_64
panoglview-0.2.2-9.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install rawtherapee, panoglview or another application that handles JPEGs or PNGs.
2. Double-click on a PNG or JPEG in Nautilus.

Actual results:
panoglview launches.

Expected results:
eog launches.

Hi,

I'm going through old eog bugs; thanks for reporting this.

The default file associations are described in shared-mime-info package in /usr/share/applications/defaults.list. The JPEG and PNG formats default to use shotwell, at least in F16+. I think this is a sane choice: shotwell is the default image viewer as installed in the Desktop spin.
