There are a couple of things under ~/.local which possibly shouldn't be there. I moved them aside and tried again, after running update- desktop-database. No difference. Did the same but with the one under .kde/share/... Same story. I finally did a manual edit on ~/.config/mimeapps.list, ran the updater, and now it works. Interestingly, the gnome-control-center app now shows Opera as an option, which it didn't before. I suspect the other files are holdovers from previous versions, as I always just update my system and have been doing so for years. None of them have been recreated after logging out and in again, so I assume they are surplus to requirements. Would it be too much to expect a warning message when obsolete config files are found? Thanks for your diligence Ed. Many kudos points. I'm not sure where to report this or even if it will be recognised as a bug rather than just spectacularly bad UI design. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
