| Oh looks like there was a ton of old shit there | 18:33:34 | |
| I'll try a session restart again | 18:34:43 | |
| Mkay no cigar as the kids say | 18:37:31 | |

| Doesn't | 18:40:47 | |
| to make sure I'm following you - I did yeet the whole /mine directory, and I shoudl be expecting it to be recreated w/ new content when I do this GUI process, yeh? | 18:41:36 | |

In reply to @sofiedotcafe:matrix.orgIt's just contention on that specific DB, nothing specific you can do, it's a warning not a fatal error | 18:44:32 | |
| It is written to `~/.config/mimeapps.list` by default afaik. | 18:44:53 | |

Okay - it looks like it gets correctly added to mimeapps.list (I checked by trying to add a .blend file, but that the filechooser can't then read this list even though it wrote to it. | 18:48:34 | |
