[Bug 966739] New: KDE/Plasma default application is broken
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=966739 Bug ID: 966739 Summary: KDE/Plasma default application is broken Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: 2015* Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE Workspace (Plasma) Assignee: opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: cygnix@openmailbox.org QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- The default application seems corrupt or broken on the latest Tumbleweed snapshot 20160209 and KDE/Plasma. For example, png files open with GIMP instead of Gwenview, pdf opens with GIMP instead of Okular, config files without extensions open with LibreWriter instead of Kwrite/Kate, etc. It was mentioned on #opensuse-factory IRC (Freenode) channel that defaults.list is renamed to mimeapps.list, a recent change perhaps that could be the root of the issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

--- Comment #2 from Franklin Titus
You might be right on this hint. Plasma is following freedesktop standards and therefore would read mimeapps.list if it exists. If it didn't exist until now, then the issue wouldn't occur.
Could you try to rename the mimeapps.list to gnome-mimeapps.list in the directory /usr/share/applications ? After this just logout and login to Plasma again and see if this restored your associations and that PDF files are opened with Okular again.
Just to see if this file is indeed the issue or that something else happened.
Thank you.
Renaming mimeapps.list (soft-link to /var/cache/gio-2.0/gnome-mimeapps.list) to gnome-mimeapps.list appears to correct the issue. Thanks -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

However later on I noticed that okular is not able to open pictures!
okular(15060)/okular (app) Okular::Document::openDocument: No plugin for mimetype '"image/jpeg"'.
This is a total different issue, which can not be resolved. Libkexiv2 has moved on to be based on KDE Frameworks and therefore it can no longer be used by Okular, which is still KDE4 based. This can only be resolved by a newer okular which is also frameworks based. At the moment the porting of okular is only happening slowly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
