Hi Alexander,

[sorry for resending, CC was wrong in first email]

I have a question: how do you handle aliases in mimeapps.list?
If someone writes
application/pdf=app1.desktop;app2.desktop;
application/x-pdf=app2.desktop;app3.desktop;
and given that x-pdf is an alias for pdf, what happens?

AFAICS the only solution is to ignore lines about aliases,
and only write down associations for the "real" mimetype, right?
