Upgrade StorageFile associations lost after upgrade to 3.0b3.2
I upgraded both of my computers to 3.0b3.2 and both now suffer from a new issue... The file associations stopped working for both systems, one running KDE, the other running Gnome.
I now get the Launch Application dialogue for pdf, html, folders, etc.
When it happened on the one computer I figured it was just something with that particular installation, but two computer running different UIs? Seems like a potential bug.
I logged the error and submitted it to the server with debug id D1184086638

What you're seeing now is expected behavior (at least until we find a workaround for broken OS-based file launching in Standalone on Linux). Just select the program you want to use and have it remember your selection.
I select a pdf and it says to select an application, and I navigate to okular. The remember checkbox says "Remember my choice for file links." If I select to remember it opens with Okular.
If I now go to "Show File," okular opens with a "Could Not Open [path to parent directory]"
Realizing that this was a problem I deleted the mimeTypes.rdf and tried again. I now see that the checkbox says "Remember my choice for file links" regardless if I'm opening a pdf, folder or html snapshot - it thinks they are just "files."
The only work around seems to be to not have it remember and just select from the list everytime. Kind of a hassle.
mimeTypes.rdf when I tell it to remember the file type. With these settings it tries to open folders and htmls with okular:
