Summary: .png opens with Ocular in multi-DE install Cinnamon => .png opens with Okular in multi-DE install Cinnamon
The bug is broader than initially described (.png -> Okular); it is another example of 'which application' for which file type, and [in]consistency in multiple desktop installs. Trying M7beta3 just updated, Classic ISO x64 all desktops, real H/W; GDM -> Cinnamon. No sign of Okular here! From Nemo file manager: From Dolphin: .png Shotwell Gwenview .gif Gwenview " .jpg Shotwell " .bmp Gwenview " .ppm Gwenview " .tif Shotwell " .pbm Gwenview " I guess the default bitmap image application for Cinnamon should be Shotwell, but it seems to depend on the file manager too. I am assigning to Jani for his comment, because he fielded bug#24326 re multi-media applications which sometimes show the same variability.

Sorry Ben, I overlooked your essential point that this is another case, like bug#24326, where the default application for certain file types is inappropriate [Okular being a document viewer] even though it does the job in a manner of speaking. Other inconsistencies are less important so long as the launched application is appropriate. Reverted the title accordingly.

M7 beta3 Classic install real x64 hardware 6 desktops. I have just discovered that Cinnamon by default opens .pdf files with *Inkscape* (which wants to import them). The context menu 'open with' does offer normal PDF viewers. I tried these file managers, same behaviour: Nemo [normal] PCmanFM Files
Cinnamon's default app for .pdf files is xreader, which isn't installed by default. And for .txt files the default is xed, which isn't installed either by default. I think I'll need to tweak meta-task a bit for cinnamon.
I've now updated rpmsrate-raw and cinnamon's default mimeapps.list based on gnome's one. There should be now more default apps for several file types.
working mageia7-final opens in pix, which is better thanks
