Default Applications Help

[Verequies]

Hey Guys,

Having some trouble setting the default application for html files. When running KiCad and opening the help documentation, it will open it in MonoDevelop even if I've set the default application for .html.
I have managed to get it to open in my default browser by creating the following and saving it to '~/.local/share/mime/packages/user-extension-html.xml':

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info">
 <mime-type type="application/x-extension-html">
  <comment>html document</comment>
  <glob pattern="*.html"/>
 </mime-type>
</mime-info>

however it still opens a MonoDevelop window.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Hamish

I assume you open your html files in X. I'm using xfce, and it has it's own default applications. Used KDE years ago, hardly remember anything, but I would say it had the same arrangement.
