To choose the program for openning a jpg file

xgillet · June 20, 2018

unusualy, I wanted to join a jpg file to a zotero document.
After I check if the file open well. Yes, it is well register,
but it does not open with my usual light Gwenview, but with Krita witch is heavyer.
You understood I am on Linux, Ubuntu Kde Neon (a jour).

I read :
https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/file_handling_issues
then rename mimeTypes.rdf in the profile directory,
and dit not see
~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list
in my installation.
Anything else to check ?

Zotero uses your system default programs to open files (other than PDF, which you can manually change in Zotero preferences). Can you verify that your system default file handler is correct ?

Yes I did it,
When I click on a jpg file in my file manager "dolphin" , Gwenview opens and that's waht I want. Krita is on 3 position on other choices I have.
Is there another way to be sure that krita is not the default file handler, that kde would have change for my usual use, but was no change as default system underground that should be detected by Zotero ?

I have the same problem. I confirmed that my system default .jpg viewer is IrfanView 64-bit (on Win 10, x64). When I double-click an attached .jpg file in Zotero, it asks me how I want to open the file. Any idea what the problem could be?
