[gentoo-user] /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache - how to manange it?

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I don't know how the /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache is built.

But I don't like some ``priorities'' in there, e.g.
I'd like to change the sequence of applications for html.

Currently I have
text/html=seamonkey.desktop;opera-
browser.desktop;firefox.desktop;bluefish.desktop;midori.desktop;epiphany
kfmclient_html.desktop;kde4-kimagemapeditor.desktop;

and I'd like to see midori.desktop first in that list.

Editing mimeinfo.cache  only helps for a short since it gets rebuilt 
by nearly? each emerge.

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

There is $HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

You'll need to set you user preferences in 
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list as described here:
