Subject: mimeopen fails on empty "Path=" line in .desktop entry
When a .desktop file happens to have an empty Path like this: [...] Name=audacious2 NoDisplay=true Path= StartupNotify=true Terminal=false TerminalOptions= [...] mimeopen fails with a message like Show quoted text
> Could not change to dir: StartupNotify=true at
/usr/bin/vendor_perl/mimeopen line 162 It seems that the mimeopen script simply parses the next line as the path instead of ignoring it. This can be solved by simply deleting the offending Path entry, but mimeopen should definitely not exit in this case.
