[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#821137: exo-utils: exo-open use a text editor (defined for text/plain) to open mime application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-flat-xml instead of LibreOffice Writer

[Serge Pouliquen]

Package: exo-utils
Version: 0.10.2-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?
I chose a preferred application for text/plain.
This modifed my .config/mimeapps.list which became like this:
[Default Applications]
text/plain=mousepad.desktop
[Added Associations]
text/plain=mousepad.desktop;
By this all libre office flat document became associated to mousepad.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I removed the two lines corresponding to text/plain.
I can now open application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-flat-xml with libreoffice writer and other flat document with the right libre office application
But, I lost my default application for text/plain

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
I expect to have the ability to choose my default application for text/plain without impact on libre office flat document

I'm not sure that the package to target was exo-utils. Maybe it is another one. Feel free to correct, if I was wrong.
