 jlc | I'm pretty new - could you say more on how to do this? | 18:14:45 |
 K900 | Are you using impermanence? | 18:15:29 |
| jlc | I suppose I'm not sure. | 18:15:44 |
| K900 | If you don't know, you're not | 18:15:57 |
| jlc | Fair enough! | 18:16:08 |
| K900 | Also, are you using Dolphin inside Plasma, or on a standalone WM session or something? | 18:16:13 |
| jlc | standalone alongside niri, a wayland WM | 18:16:36 |
| K900 | Actually | 18:17:16 |
| jlc | (FWIW I had this issue using Nautilus as well) | 18:17:22 |
| K900 | What does dolphin --version output? | 18:17:23 |
| jlc | 25.08.03 | 18:17:54 |
| jlc | And also: | 18:17:57 |

| jlc | (which is info I'm seeing for the 1st time) | 18:19:40 |
| K900 | That's fine, those are non-fatal warnings | 18:20:04 |
| K900 | Anyway, try getting rid of all the xdg.mime stuff in home-manager and then restarting your sessio | 18:20:20 |

| jlc | I'll comment it all out and brb | 18:20:47 |
| jlc | Mkay - Looks like my editor can still open things from my app launcher, but mt filechooser still doesn't have this persistence. | 18:26:10 |
| jlc | in the case of dolphin, opening up "properties" on a file and adding something to the list of programs to use to open it is immediately just not written; unless of course I'm doing something very dumb, I find this surprising, | 18:27:15 |

| jlc | (I guess I am -typing the program name- instead of navigating to the nix store where the binary is so it's 1000% possible I'm just missing that step) | 18:28:58 |
| K900 | Hm, maybe also try nuking ~/local/.share/applications/mimeinfo.cache and ~/local/.share/mime | 18:31:27 |
| jlc | I also wonder if this is an 'environment variables' (not 100% clear on what that means) w/ my WM? Re: the setup instructions penultimate paragraph | 18:32:00 |
| jlc | Oh looks like there was a ton of old shit there | 18:33:34 |
| jlc | I'll try a session restart again | 18:34:43 |
| jlc | Mkay no cigar as the kids say | 18:37:31 |
| K900 | When you add a file association, does it get reflected in the files in ~/.local/share/mime? | 18:38:50 |
