Description Nicolas Peifer 2017-12-31 15:54:18 CET 
Description of problem:
Opening files from nautilus with the associated application does not work properly.

For example:

Whenever I double click a ZIP file in Nautilus, it uses the 'Archive Mounter' tool. But it is not the configured application. In my /home/dummy/.config/mimeapps.list there is:

application/zip=org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop;

When using "xdg-open ~/zipfile1.zip" it uses file-roller and that's what I expect, too, when opening the file from nautilus.

Similar problem occurs with normal text files.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Nautilus.
2. Double click on the file you want to open.
Comment 1 Nicolas Peifer 2017-12-31 16:16:36 CET 
Ok, for the ZIP files: I unchecked the checkbox "Extract the files on open" and now Nautilus uses file-roller =)

But for TXT files the problem remains: gedit is used despite two other editors are configured in /home/dummy/.config/mimeapps.list :

text/plain=leafpad.desktop;geany.desktop;

Comment 3 Aurelien Oudelet 2020-08-14 16:15:29 CEST 
This message is a reminder that Mageia 6 is end of life.

Mageia stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 6. At that time this bug will be closed as OLD (EOL).

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version prior to Mageia 6's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we cannot 
be able to fix it before Mageia 6 was end of life.
If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
