Description of problem:
Using Mate DE, When I open Caja file manager, Preference, Media, I see my options for actions are grayed out. Can not set any actions, such as when a cd/dvd is inserted, tell Caja what action to do? It show 'No application found' for the action.

How reproducible:
If someone would install Mate or either Caja and see if their's show the same results.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mate or Caja
2. Go into Prefence
3. Go into Media and see if they are able to add/change actions for media devices or preference packages to open other applications.

Do you have any media players or relevant applications installed? I have vlc media player installed and i can select it for dvd video and cd audio. Caja, autoruns applications which have supports x-content/video-dvd mimetype for dvd video, x-content/audio-cdda mimetype for cd audio, x-content/audio-player mimetype for music player, x-content/image-dcf for photos and x-content/software for software. If you installed ie. media player but does not have support for x-content/video-dvd mimetype then it doesn't show that application. Like smplayer.

A workaround is adding those mimetype assaciations to your ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list. Like this:

x-content/audio-cdda=rhythmbox.desktop;
x-content/video-dvd=smplayer.desktop;
x-content/audio-player=rhythmbox.desktop;
x-content/image-dcf=eom.desktop;

So, i think this is not a caja bug but something about those applications.

I do have apps installed. Here is a copy of my mimeapps.list, which doesn't look like your example:

[saptech@localhost ~]$ cat ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

Do you think I should rename this and create a new one like your example?

Thnx.

I guess this is not a bug. Some reason I didn't have VLC & Audacious installed after doing a backup restore from an earlier backup. Everything seems to be showing in the Media mimeapps execpt for Photos. I do have gwenview, gimp & eye of mate installed and have been since restoring from the backup. I'll try to figure out why Photos doesn't have an app set for it.

Sorry for any inconviences I may have caused.

Thnx.

Then you may consider mark this bug report as RESOLVED and INVALID if there is no problem.

Comment 6 Stephen Pettin 2015-03-17 15:37:04 CET

Is it truly INVALID? Before installing VLC & Audacious, I already had Amarok, mplayer & smplayer installed and it's not displaying them at all. Photos do not have anything associated with it (grayed out).

Comment 7 Stephen Pettin 2015-03-22 01:08:45 CET

I just did a fresh install of Mageia 5 Beta 3 & Mate, and the Preference Media is working as it should except for Photos. It is still grayed out even though I have Gwenview & Eye of Mate image viewer installed.
This can be closed and made Invalid due to user error.

You need to install a photo managament application, like shotwell or digikam. That media option is for importing photos. Anyway, closing this bug report.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID
