All images are opened by Internet Explorer!

When opened png file on the Desktop, Wine Internet Explorer is run with the popup error:
DDE failure
Click to expand...
with some weird Address.
I hate Internet Explorer! and even on FreeBSD it's following me;/

Trying to change default behavior, by right click, Open With->Other Application..., typing: eog or any other image viewer, by default I've got 'Remember this application for "PNG image" files'.
After this, still the same.
How to remove Internet Explorer by being default image viewer on FreeBSD?;/
I'm using GNOME.

LOL. Sorry I could not resist. :e

Check defaults.list and mimeinfo.cache in ~/.local/share/applications/ for an image/png entry and modify the associated .desktop file (seen after the equal sign) to open files using the application of your choice.
 
Those are my files:
Code: 
> ls ~/.local/share/applications
mimeapps.list			wine				wine-extension-html.desktop	wine-extension-jpg.desktop	wine-extension-wri.desktop
mimeinfo.cache			wine-extension-chm.desktop	wine-extension-ini.desktop	wine-extension-png.desktop	wine-extension-xml.desktop
userapp-eog-1WCKLV.desktop	wine-extension-gif.desktop	wine-extension-jfif.desktop	wine-extension-rtf.desktop
userapp-eog-WCYNLV.desktop	wine-extension-hlp.desktop	wine-extension-jpe.desktop	wine-extension-skype.desktop
userapp-gvim-UNYALV.desktop	wine-extension-htm.desktop	wine-extension-jpeg.desktop	wine-extension-txt.desktop
I can't see defaults.list, but png is in 3 files:
Code: 
> grep png ~/.local/share/applications/*
mimeapps.list:image/png=wine-extension-png.desktop;eog.desktop;userapp-eog-1WCKLV.desktop;userapp-eog-WCYNLV.desktop;
mimeinfo.cache:image/png=wine-extension-png.desktop
wine-extension-png.desktop:MimeType=image/png
wine-extension-png.desktop:Exec=wine start /ProgIDOpen pngfile %f

What's correct way of fixing this bug?

Edit wine-extension-png.desktop and replace wine start /ProgIDOpen pngfile %f with your favorite application, e.g. gimp %f.
It would also be aesthetically right to rename wine-extension-png.desktop both as a file and inside mimeapps.list and mimeinfo.cache to something more appropriate. :)

It is not a bug. It is Wine being a d*** just like Windows.

If it's not a bug, how it's possible that I can't change using GNOME as I suppose to do it?
From my perspective if 'Remember this option for "PNG image" files' doesn't work, as it says, it's a bug.
Should it say instead:
'Remember this option for "PNG image" files exempt if you have Wine Internet Explorer installed'?

I'm not gonna to HACK/EDIT any system files until this will be fixed in proper way and it'll work as it suppose to work.
That means every time when I'll install FreeBSD on another desktop, or I'll back to FreeBSD after few years, each time I'll see Internet Explorer as default image browser? And each time I need to look for the list of files on the forum which I have to HACK again before I could use the system normally?
Non-sense.
My goal is when I install next time FreeBSD as a Desktop machine, it'll not take me again 1 month to configure it properly as a Desktop machine.

Oh, this is what you were talking about! I thought you were talking about Wine changing other applications' settings. My bad.

1. You asked for our help. I gave you a solution. You rejected it. Fine.
2. ~/.local/share/applications/* are not system files.

The FreeBSD Project is *not* responsible of the GNOME or Wine *development*. It only *ports* these applications. Blaming FreeBSD won't fix GNOME bugs.
You are free to stop using GNOME or whatever is getting on your nerves. There is probably 100 alternatives to the applications bundled in GNOME.
 
This topic has been closed. Issues as technical or detailed as this should not be discussed in general user-oriented forums like The FreeBSD Forums. These forums are intended for end-user support with installing and/or running FreeBSD and/or applications from the ports tree, not for routinely resolving low-level problems with the operating system or add-on applications. Developers and port maintainers usually do not spend much time here, and we routinely refer technically detailed questions to them.

Consider opening this topic elsewhere, e.g.:

In the case of the FreeBSD base system:

1) by posting to one of the relevant mailing lists
2) by opening a bug report

In the case of ported applications:

1) by contacting the port maintainer (run make maintainer in the port directory)
2) by opening a bug report
