Description Kamil Páral 2020-03-06 07:53:52 UTC 
Description of problem:
If you install GIMP in Fedora 31 (this doesn't change the default image viewer, so all pictures are by default still opened with "Image Viewer" - eog), and then upgrade to Fedora 32, the default image viewer changes to GIMP. So all pictures (png, jpg) that you click on in Nautilus get opened by GIMP. You have to go to gnome-control-center -> Default applications and change the default application back to Image Viewer, or you need to change the default association for each affected file type (mime type) using Nautilus' "Open With" dialog.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 31:
eog-3.34.2-1.fc31.x86_64
gimp-2.10.18-1.fc31.x86_64
gnome-control-center-3.34.4-1.fc31.x86_64
nautilus-3.34.2-2.fc31.x86_64
shared-mime-info-1.15-1.fc31.x86_64

Fedora 32:
eog-3.35.92-1.fc32.x86_64
gimp-2.10.18-1.fc32.x86_64
gnome-control-center-3.35.92-1.fc32.x86_64
nautilus-3.35.92-1.fc32.x86_64
shared-mime-info-1.15-2.fc32.x86_64


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a clean F31 (or use some existing one where you haven't modified the default image viewer)
2. install GIMP (due to modularity issues still being unresolved during system upgrade, this is easier to do with "dnf install gimp --disablerepo=\*-modular")
3. open gnome-control-center -> Default applications and check that Image Viewer is still the selected option for "Photos"
4. check that .jpg and .png files open with Image Viewer (eog), when double clicked from Nautilus
5. upgrade to Fedora 32
6. see that .jpg and .png files are opened by GIMP when double clicked from Nautilus
7. open gnome-control-center -> Default applications and see that GIMP is the selected option for "Photos"


Actual results:
upgrade changes the default image viewer application to GIMP

Expected results:
upgrade doesn't change the default image viewer application

Comment 3 Kamil Páral 2020-03-06 08:03:11 UTC 
I don't think this can be a release blocker, but GIMP is likely installed on many many Fedora systems, so this is likely to affect a large portion of our user base. Not everyone will know how to change the defaults back to Image Viewer. Marking as CommonBugs and also proposing as a PrioritizedBug. It would be very helpful to have this fixed before Fedora 32 public release.

Comment 8 Kamil Páral 2020-03-09 15:46:44 UTC 
I can confirm the new package fixes the problem and EOG is still the default image viewer even after upgrade.
Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2020-03-09 17:41:44 UTC 
I got *wine* as my new default image viewer. erp.
