Lastly, the security note on xdg-mime advises to not set a runner as *default*, not against having runnes present in the first place. It's also prominently placed on the `xdg-mime default ...` sub-command. So it could be argued that since it can't be known if something is a runner or opener, choosing any application as default without it actually being explicitly set as default goes against that advice. But it's the portal which is doing that.
"the default handler is an opener, not a runner" sounds strange in that context. Maybe it *should be* an opener, but there is no telling whether it is or not.
It sounds to me like the default handler setting is being overloaded to provide safety against automatically invoking runners. It be nice if a mechanism could added instead. An extra property that specifies whether the handler is a runner or an opener and a way to request either or both. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
