See Launchpad bug but tl;dr we had a complete defaults.list but stopped shipping it and so the GNOME one wins. Ew.
Hasn't been done afaik but I mentioned to @The_LoudSpeaker that this might be a good first packaging task. I'll try to work with him to get something going.

| Resolved | tsimonq2 | T1 Lubuntu 19.04 | ||
| Resolved | The_LoudSpeaker | T3 Provide complete mimeapps.list |
As far as I understand, I have to pickup the mimeapps.list from 18.04 and put it in place of /etc/xdg/xdg-lubuntu/mimeapps.list in lubuntu-default-settings. obviously along with some edits. Am I right?
I don't think is the best strategy. Between 18.04 and 19.04 there are a lot of different programs. I think the best strategies is to look if all the mimetypes of 18.04 are present and the ones that are not add. It with the new program
I need to know whether this should be a release blocker or not.
Is there a compelling reason to not punt this to 19.10?
It is important enough and easy enough that I would say we need to fix this before release. Assign to me if need be and I'll get it done.
@The_LoudSpeaker you might want to just include the file here. Parsing this old wiki data is kind of a pain. That way if you're tied up, one of us can still finish it up.
@wxl I want to complete it by myself. I am a bit busy today and tomorrow. If you could wait 2 days. I will send it here if you guys are in a hurry.
Thursday morning US time is the deadline; if you can't get it here beforehand, please pass it off. 😄
It landed in the release pocket an hour ago. Please, someone upgrade to it and test it ASAP.
Downloaded a sample image, pdf, and two videos. Opened in pcmanfm-qt and double clicked and they opened in lximage, qpdfview, and vlc, respectively. Then opened a terminal and used xdg-open with the same results except on one of the two videos, a webm, which opened in firefox. I think video/webm is the right mimetype from what I can tell if you want to add that on as an additional plus, but looks like the solution as intended is effective. Good job, @The_LoudSpeaker!
