            Bug ID: 99538
           Summary: xdg-open does not handle multiple applications
                    returned from xdg-mime
           Product: Portland
           Version: TP
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

          Priority: medium

possible default applications are separated by semicolons

on my Fedora 24 system, xdg-mime will return a semicolon separated list (from
/usr/share//applications/mimeapps.list).  xdg-open will use the whole string
verbatim as the name of the desktop file, and it fails.

Example:

  $ /bin/xdg-mime query default image/jpeg
  eog.desktop;
  $ /bin/xdg-mime query default image/svg+xml
  eog.desktop;gthumb.desktop;

notice the trailing semicolon.

it seems to me xdg-open should split on ";" and look for each application in
turn.  I have a patch to do so at

https://github.com/kjetilho/xdg-utils/tree/open-fix

the patch is enclosed.  it also fixes a trivial but critical typo in xdg-open.
