[Bug 41275] New: Don' t set Notepad as the default application handler for .txt
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41275 Bug ID: 41275 Summary: Don't set Notepad as the default application handler for .txt Product: Wine Version: 1.8 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: ddascalescu+wine(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- After installing Wine, Notepad became the default handler for .txt files. Double-clicking on a .txt file from Nautilus or Unity Dash launches Notepad, which is definitely not what I want. Notepad is one of the worst editors out there, and I had Kate and Geany installed. In Ubuntu, Default Applications doesn't show an entry for Text files, so it's not easy to undo this change. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

The result is that users who haven't edited them because they were perfectly happy with whatever default associations were already there end up having them unexpectedly replaced by winemenubuilder. IMO, that shouldn't happen. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41275 --- Comment #4 from Michal Suchanek <hramrach(a)gmail.com> --- hm, this seems to be an error in the mime handling in the respective application. AFAICT wine installs valid .local desktop files and the .local cache has them listed as same priority as the /usr/share cache lists the system desktop files. However, the .local cache files do not list /usr/share entries and some applications apparently stop looking once they find a match presenting incomplete information to the user. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41275 --- Comment #5 from Michal Suchanek <hramrach(a)gmail.com> --- And as the Debian bug report for the same issue suggests this is a bug in the specification so either the freedesktop specification must be changed to work with the extra files installed by wine or wine must stop installing them automatically and only do so on request - probably something like watch the classes registry and whenever new mime type or handler is registered ask the user if it should be registered in the native desktop as well Yes/No/Always/Never. Probably special-casing the default handlers that come with wine is a good idea as well. The issue is that the user .local files do not amend but rather override the systemwide files for mime handlers, intentionally. You are supposed to select a default application (either by installing gnome or doing a manual selection in .local). For the latter only one of user or systemwide applications are provided as choices for a particular file type - its override, not amend. Same problem with file extensions which do not even have a default. So this is just overall not thought through but does not matter under usual circumstances. It is only problem with wine automatically creating .local mime files. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Wine's current solution is better, I think: winemenubuilder simply doesn't create associations for most of Wine's own programs like Wine Notepad and Wine Internet Explorer. When you install Windows programs in Wine, those programs will associate themselves with their file types, overriding previous associations, just like they would on Windows. That means that you can, for example, install Notepad++ as your default text editor even if you had a Linux-native text editor installed already. My impression is that everybody is pretty happy with the current solution, so I am resolving this bug as WONTFIX. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
