[BUG] - application inserts mimetype associations in user's mimeapps preferences instead of appending

Open corigne opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Describe the bug r2modman inserts its desktop file as the first entry in mimeapps.list for x-scheme-handler/https and others on start, even if another application already exists for this entry (e.g. firefox.desktop), ideally this should be appended to avoid overwriting existing user preferences

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Set default browser using mimeo or by hand
  2. open an http link, default browser opens a new tab to that lnk
  3. open r2modman
  4. open the same http link, r2modman flashes briefly, nothing opens in the default browser

Expected behavior r2modman should append, not insert mimeapps entries for mimetypoes that it doesn't explicitly own, respecting existing mimeapp preferences

I really would love to be able to help troubleshoot this but I'm not really sure where to start.

I ended up back here after running into an identical issue with obsidian.md I traced the issue back to mimeo, with the help of another user. Uninstalling mimeo appears to have resolved this on my laptop. Will check on my desktop tomorrow and confirm, closing the ticket if necessary.

DO you have any info on what exactly caused the issue? I kinda wanna keep using mimeo.
