mimeapps dotfiles

mimeapps is a dotfile read by some random applications to figure out which software opens which filetype in a desktop environment without a desktop environment, perhaps something to do with X desktop standard xdg or not. You need to have it in two places: ~/.config/mimeapps.list and ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list. It surely overrides some global stuff as well. In normal desktops you can use settings to control these but with i3 you don’t have sustainable solution for this. mimeopen -D helps usually, these are the files it controls. The format is same as .desktop files a bit, so a bit like .ini files or .toml files or such. It’s mimetype=.desktop-file. how you are gonna figure out the name of the desktop file is a mystery, I just find them somewhere so far…
