I don't think patching xdg-open is the proper solution though. IMHO, "xdg-mime query default xxx" should not return the ';' (or the whole line actually, including all listed applications) in the first place, it doesn't when run inside a KDE session. To demonstrate the problem more clearly: Say, mimeapps.list contains this: [Default Applications] inode/directory=kde4-krusader.desktop; Inside a KDE session "xdg-mime query default inode/directory" returns "krusader.desktop". In IceWM e.g. (i.e. when the generic path is taken) it's "kde4-krusader.desktop;" instead, on which xdg-open chokes then. The problem is even more obvious if you add a second application to the default applications line, as explicitly mentioned in the specification (<a href="https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mime-apps-spec/latest/ar01s04.html">https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mime-apps-spec/latest/ar01s04.html</a>): [Default Applications] inode/directory=kde4-krusader.desktop;kde4-dolphin.desktop; Inside KDE, xdg-mime still returns "krusader.desktop", but the generic version returns the whole line, "kde4-krusader.desktop;kde4-dolphin.desktop;" Apparently the correct behavior would be to check the specified desktop files in the order specified and return only the first one that actually exists (this is how it behaves inside a KDE session). But it would help already if it would just strip everything after (and including) the first semicolon I suppose.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
