I am running openbox and so do not have access to standard Ubuntu control panel, but must set everything from the terminal. When I download an image in chrome and click open, it launches xdg-open which then launches an arbitrary program (it resorts to Internet Explorer on wine if I uninstall those programs).
How do I control which program is loaded for an image of type .jpg (and others)?

- Run the command
nano ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list(to set for your user only) orsudo nano /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list(to set for all users). - Find the mime type of the file you want to change (.jpg is
image/jpeg). You can find the mime type with the commandfile --mime-type -b filename - Replace (or add) the line so it reads
image/jpeg=eog.desktop(replacingimage/jpegwith the type andeog.desktopwith the .desktop which you want to use to launch the program.
Note:
If you are using /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list, you may need to create it see here: Default Applications - ArchWiki
