| pmjdebruijn | hey | 06:38 |
|---|---|---|
| pmjdebruijn | I'm noticing behavior in Thunar, where if I open a file with the non-default application, Thunar by default seems to make that application the new default application | 06:39 |
| pmjdebruijn | which is really annoying | 06:39 |
| pmjdebruijn | just because I open an image once in GIMP (which takes a few seconds to load), doesnt mean I want to open every image and GIMP (and thus want to wait a few seconds to merely view it) | 06:39 |
| pmjdebruijn | anybody a clue how I can turn that off? | 06:40 |

| Babloyi | so...bad luck? | 06:44 |
| pmjdebruijn | hmmr | 06:48 |
| pmjdebruijn | seems like an atrociously bad decision | 06:48 |
| pmjdebruijn | for me a more or less makes Thunar unusable | 06:49 |
| pmjdebruijn | oh wait, this behavior only happens if there isn't a clear default? | 06:50 |
| pmjdebruijn | hmmr | 06:50 |
| knome | you can always change the default later | 06:51 |
| pmjdebruijn | even then it's not great default behavior | 06:51 |
| pmjdebruijn | it means the default experience is inconsistent at best | 06:52 |
| knome | so are you instead suggesting that a user should explicitly go set the default application every time they handle a new filetype? | 06:52 |
| pmjdebruijn | and depends on which apps you use in general very annoying | 06:52 |
| knome | i don't think that's very user-friendly either | 06:52 |
| pmjdebruijn | knome: this issue only exists on xubuntu | 06:52 |
| pmjdebruijn | (read thunar I guesS) | 06:53 |
| pmjdebruijn | on regular ubuntu i've never even had to think about this | 06:53 |
| pmjdebruijn | it has it's default, which are static, which I can change when I want to | 06:53 |
| pmjdebruijn | no dynamic behavior as long as I don't remove any apps | 06:53 |
| knome | so what if you open a new filetype you've never touched before? | 06:53 |
| pmjdebruijn | that not the issue here | 06:54 |
| pmjdebruijn | the issue is a constantly changing default | 06:54 |
| knome | "this behavior only happens if there isn't a clear default" | 06:54 |
| pmjdebruijn | for a new filetype, once could ask on the first go | 06:54 |
| knome | how is that supposed to be interpreted? | 06:54 |
| pmjdebruijn | knome: that me trying to interpret the bug report | 06:54 |
| pmjdebruijn | still need to verify, if that's really the case | 06:55 |
| pmjdebruijn | not sure if i'm hit by this issue because I replaced ristretto with eom | 06:56 |
| n-iCe | hi | 17:31 |
| Spass | hello n-iCe | 17:33 |
| n-iCe | :D | 17:35 |
| Spass | you should join #xubuntu-offtopic we're saying "hello" to each other 24/7 over there :P (and occasionally we say something more) | 17:35 |
