Description Paul-Antoine Arras 2015-11-27 15:52:32 UTC
Description of problem:
Since upgrading to RHEL 7.2, file associations in Thunar are messed up and changing them from the Properties dialog has no effect.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Thunar.x86_64 1.6.3-2.el7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunar and browse to a directory with e.g. PDF files.
2. Double click on a PDF file: it is opened with the default PDF viewer, e.g. evince.
3. Change file association (right click on PDF file -> Properties -> Open with) to say gv.
4. Double click on a PDF file.

Actual results:
The file is opened with the old default app (evince).

Expected results:
The file is opened with the new default app (gv).

We could just cherry pick this one fix over, but I don't see anything thats incompatible in the latest Thunar version. 

Can you test this scratch build and provide feedback:
