Bug Description
When using Nautilus and I right click on an image file I get a drop down menu, the first two items are “Open With *Default application*” and “Open With Other Application”.
I use Mirage as my default application for image files.
On one account when I right click on an image file and choose “Open With Other Application”, Mirage is the preselected application not “Image Viewer” which is my usual second choice.
On another account Mirage isn’t preselected, “Image Viewer” is. This is the expected behavior.
I used the "Properties"->"Open With" to select “Image Viewer” and set it as the default. But that didn't work, it went back to Mirage as the default.
I tried setting other programs as the default the same way and none stuck, it always returned to Mirage.
I went to Settings-
When I changed Settings-
“Right click on an image file and select : 'Open With Other Application' Then right click on the application that you do not want to be on that menu. Click on 'Forget association'”. Worked on other programs but not on Mirage.
Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (beaver-osha X84)
Release: 18.04
Nautilus 1:3.26.
I expected Image Viewer to be the preselected Other Application.
I got Mirage as the default application and the preselected “Other Application”
I expected Mirage to be removed from the list when I clicked on “Forget association”
What I got was Mirage would not go gently into the night
I expected Mirage to accept not being the default application when using "Properties"->"Open With" to chose another application as the default.
What I got was Mirage remaining the default.
