I have installed pycharm via flatpak on linux Mint 21.1. I want to open every .py file in the PyCharm application. But when I right click and choose "open with other application" PyCharm is not on the list.

How can I set PyCharm to be default app for .py files ?

Thank you for help

EDIT:

I found .desktop file in /home/kacka/.local/share/applications/userapp-com.jetbrains.PyCharm-Professional.desktop-95N5X1.desktop but when I try to set it up I get this: screenshot

    How do you open PyCharm? by clicking on an icon (using a desktop file)?

    I believe you are using a desktop file and therefore it should appear in the list of apps when you select: "open with other application". Run these commands and show what you get: find ~/.local/share/applications -iname "*pycharm*" and find /usr/share/applications -iname "*pycharm*"

    Also try this: find /var/lib/flatpak -iname "*pycharm*.desktop" (if you don't get any output from previous commands)

Reset to default

Solution was to go to:

/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/

where I found this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  105 Jan  7 13:28 com.jetbrains.PyCharm-Professional -> ../../app/com.jetbrains.PyCharm-Professional/current/active/export/bin/com.jetbrains.PyCharm-Professional

So I set up default aplication to:

/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/com.jetbrains.PyCharm-Professional

and now it works
