Hi everyone, I (& other noobs?) would love to hear your setups on handling default applications (I’d imagine)! And even if this doesn’t get any replies, maybe some lone soul searching for answers will benefit from my experience. I once struggled with the fact that xdg-open can have quite unexpected behaviour for non-DE setups such as sway. I’ve been super happy with handlr, and can give an example:
- as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Default_applications#handlr ,
changing a default can be as simple as for example: handlr set .mp4 mpv.desktop - and if a .desktop file doesn’t exist, they can be found most often in /usr/share/applications
as stated in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Desktop_entries
What’s your endeavor OS sway community edition experiences on default applications? Is there perhaps a canonical way?
edit: LOL, I shouldn’t line wrap for these posts
