[Solved] Wine keeps overwriting dolphin file associations?

Soukyuu · 2015-10-06 16:09:12

I have a wine application that is capable of opening .png files. When I double click on a .png, dolphin launches it with said wine application. Setting file type properties either from dolphin or via system settings seems to be doing something, but upon reopening dolphin/system settings, the association is back to the wine app. So neither removing or changing priorities work. Any idea how to solve that?

look at ~/.local/share/applications/wine folder.
You'll prob find the file associating png with wine there.

Yes, I forgot to mention that. I have deleted it, but it keeps coming back. Not immediately, but eventually.

Ok, your problem may have to do with Plasma 5 using another location for mimeapps.list then kde4 / plasma4 .

I've edited ~/.config/mimeapps.list and removed any references to the affected filetypes. Seems to solve the issue, thanks.
It's interesting to see that dolphin writes default apps into that directory, but other associations are stored in the apparently deprecated ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
That's just asking for trouble.
