With the 15.04 release of Kubuntu, I switched from Gnome (Ubuntu) to KDE/Plasma. I did a clean install, while keeping my home directory. Now, libreoffice (mostly Calc) seems to be associated with every unknown file-type. Instead of manually fixing the associations for every file I encounter, I'd rather understand what went wrong and fix it by looking at the corresponding config file that KDE/Plasma uses. Which config-file is it?

KDE stores its mimetype mappings in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
, so you might want to have a look at that file. Each line containe a mimetype followed by an =
and the application to use, for example:
application/xml=kde4-kwrite.desktop
You can also change these associations with the kcmshell4
tool (see also):

This file seems to only list changes I manually did from within Dolphin, particularly it has a section
[Removed Associatsion]
, listing libreoffice several times. What from do I remove libreoffice? Why do I have to remove libreoffice from e.g. saytext/x-bibtex

This answer doesn't seem complete. This file does not represent all of the associations configured for me.– SparrMar 11, 2019 at 20:54
