[Bug 1960822] [NEW] Calibre (Ubuntu) sets itself as standard-app for a lot of file types not related to it

 

Public bug reported:

Its soooo annoying.

Calibre defines itself as being able to open dozens of file types, so
that it is sometimes even used as a standard program. I already removed
it from a lot of them, but some are:

- .iges, .igs
- .atom
- .es
- .meta4
- .pdf
- .pgp, .gpg, .asc
- .ps
- .raml
- .rss
- .rtf
- .siv
- .sql
- SMIL-documents
- .vnc
- .pgn
- .coffee
- .flatpakref, .flatpakrepo
- .kml
- .kcfg, .kcfgc
- .notifyrc
- .rc
- .fodg (maybe useful)
- .fodp
- .spx
- .ccmx
- .toc
- .csh
- .cue
- .ui
- .desktop, .kdelnk
- m.youtu.be, youtu.be, youtube.com

and MORE...

Its like Libreoffice sets itself as standard / on the list for a lot of
unfitting formats, but worse.

The Error occurs in the latest version and since a while.
