Ark does not use default MIME app

view story

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I changed default application for text/plain with:$ xdg-mime default gvim.desktop text/plainand I can see that `~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list` has changed.But now when I open an archive with Ark and preview a file it uses Wine Notepad (!!) instead.That's really disappointing and I haven't managed to change its behavior yet. My WM is OpenBoxand I don't have KDE installed. Could that be the problem? rubik https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=58470 2012-08-19T07:15:42Z (HowTos)

I'm surprised. That's default config. I will do as you suggested! Thanks!

Gnome Places messed up. 2 years 1 week ago

xdg-mime may have been configured to use these applications.Here is how I configured Thunar as my file manager> xdg-mime query filetype [directory] application/x-directory; charset=binary > ls /usr/share/applications|grep Thunar Thunar-bulk-rename.desktop Thunar.desktop Thunar-folder-handler.desktop > xdg-mime default Thunar.desktop application/x-directory > xdg-mime query default appl

xdg-mime not behaving 27 weeks 10 hours ago

I am trying to set the default application for magnet links using:

xdg-mime default deluge.desktop x-scheme-handler/magnet

Checking this with grep -i deluge ~/.local/share/applications/* yeilds:

/home/manko/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list:x-scheme-handler/magnet=deluge.desktop /home/manko/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list:application/x-bittorrent=deluge.desktop

i.e.

Ok solved. urxvt-fullscreen places the perl files into /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/fullscreen but reading urxvt man page it seems that URxvt does not look for extensions there, but rather in $HOME/.urxvt and /usr/local/lib/urxvt/perl. Symlinking the perl file into ~/.urxvt/ext solved the problem.

Still hoping for some ideas for this. What could be makign this happen?I reinstalled again with the default everythign. I then changed the default path of the default host to what is above and left everything else the same. Still having the same problem. (Works fine if I just use the default webapp dir)
