These .desktop files set InitialPreference>1 which will override other
associations even the .desktop appears first in XDG_DATA_DIRS. This
applies to:

  • org.kde.kate.desktop
  • org.kde.kwrite.desktop
  • kfmclient_html.desktop
  • okularApplication_txt.desktop

Fixes #86137

Motivation for this change
Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Thanks, can we comment why we need to lower initial preference?
(preferably the same comment in every file)

A VM with

services.xserver.enable = true;
services.xserver.desktopManager.plasma5.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.enable = true;
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.firefox ];

and the nixos manual desktop file opens in firefox default (and not kate)

Is there an upstream issue/reasoning why they set it so high?
