We are seeing something similar here on my wife's machine. All the |
| 24 |
file associations started going to gedit and we're having to |
| 25 |
reassociate file types with applications. It seems that somehow it |
| 26 |
starts using the most recent association as the default for the next |
| 27 |
unknown file type. Once we set things up then the app seems to stick |
| 28 |
with the file type. |
