Ever since installing Bless Hex Editor, all unknown files and text files automatically open with Bless instead of gedit. How do I change it back? I don't want to have to manually associate files with gedit, I just want gedit to be the default if there's no other application set up to open the file.
Solution:
modify ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[Default Applications]
- text/plain=bless.desktop
- application/octet-stream=bless.desktop
+ application/octet-stream=gedit.desktop
Best Answer
modify
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.listThis reverts the text/plain app to using the system default in
/usr/share/applications/defaults.list, and changes the defaultapplication/octet-stream. It seems that Firefox labels this mime-type as "Unknown".
