Description whateveryouthink 2015-07-31 21:14:09 CEST
Hello, please look also to the description and discussion in the forum:
https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=9732

..................................

The xfce wiki says for thunar :
"Working with Files and Folders - Modifying Actions
(...) To remove a previously added action for a file type, bring up the Open With dialog as described above, right-click the action you want to remove and choose Remove Launcher."

..................................

But this is still not possible, you have to change this with editing the files stored in $HOME/.local/share/applications ...

deleting wrong selfcreated actions, saved as file in '$HOME/.local/share/applications' ...
deleting wrong actions in the file "$HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list"...

..................................

So we should change the description in the wiki...

User hjudt means, this problem is caused of different glib-versions.

The wiki entry got fixed meanwhile.

However "remove launcher" still is grayed out. Opened a thunar bug for that: Bug #14393

Bug #12113
