hyprland-mimeapps.list contains a [Added Associations] group

[0pLuS0]

Hi @ChrisDKN

I noticed in journalctl -b this output;

/.config/hyprland-mimeapps.list contains a [Added Associations] group, but it is not permitted here. Only the non-desktop-specific mimeapps.list file may add or remove associations

I also see the same thing in niri;

/.config/niri-mimeapps.list contains a [Added Associations] group, but it is not permitted here. Only the non-desktop-specific mimeapps.list file may add or remove associations.

THANKS

Bit confused what you're trying to show here. The manager should add to mimeapps.list for the nxm handler to work.

Hi @ChrisDKN

Oh acutually it looks like xdg-desktop-portal is the one spitting this out, here's the entire message for hyprland, and it's the same for niri;

Jun 30 22:48:26 gentoo xdg-desktop-por[974]: /home/foo/.config/hyprland-mimeapps.list contains a [Added Associations] group, but it is not permitted here. Only the non-desktop-specific mimeapps.list file may add or remove associations.

I get the feeling the issue is with the portal or your config, not really with amethyst...

When I start Amethyst the hyprland-mimeapps.list is being created.

I'm not aware that the xdg portal creates this, not sure I understand too what config you are referring to, I don't have any configs for Amethyst, I don't have any for hyprland that would create this, I don't have any configs that would create this, so I'm at a loss over it's creation.

I've never seen a hyprland-mimeapps.list before in Linux, mimeapps.list is the name used in Linux.

So I assumed Amethyst creates this on startup, if it is creating this, can we please get it changed and have the entries added into the mimeapps.list.

And that goes for Niri too needing it changed, because in niri it is creating niri-mimeapps.list

This should be fixed now.

Hi,

Something else, if I'm not loosing my mind LOL...

Last I remember the primary default location for user-specific MIME application associations is ~/.config/mimeapps.list not /.local/share/applications/

So if this is correct it would be nice to correct this and keep it under ~/.config

THANKS

[Neintonine]

Its getting written to both ~/.config/mimeapps.list and ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list.

It's my understanding that ~/.local/share/applications/ is deprecated.
