[Bug 1518052] [NEW] xdg-mime can read defaults but always not set them

 

Public bug reported:

mimeapps.list has changed

It used to be in .local/share/applications/ . Now it's in .config/ .

"xdg-mime query default" reads from both locations, but no "xdg-mime
default NEWSETTING" can ever overwrite a setting in
.config/mimeapps.list .  It writes to
.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list only.

** Affects: xdg-utils (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
