Hey everyone! I recently set up Mangowc and it's been mostly great, but I'm facing this frustrating issue where none of my file association settings are applying. Cosmetic stuff like my cursor and color scheme isn't a big deal since I can handle that through the config file. However, I keep being prompted to select a program every single time I try to open a file, which is getting on my nerves.
The mimetype file is working as expected, and this problem doesn't occur in environments like Plasma or Gnome, so it seems to be specific to window managers like i3, Niri, or Mangowc. Is there a way to fix this, or am I stuck with it? By the way, I tried using Nautilus instead of Dolphin and it worked perfectly fine, so at least there's that!
Here's some system info in case it's helpful:
* OS: Debian 13.2 x86_64
* CPU: 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13620H
* GPU: GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Laptop GPU
* Computer: ASUS Laptop Q530VJ
* Terminal: Kitty
* Shell: Zsh
* Current WM: Mango (Wayland)
Let me know if you need any more details!

Have you installed xdg-utils? You might specifically want to look into xdg-mime, as it could help with your file associations. Also, don't forget about dbus! I remember needing that for my dwm setup. Give it a shot!
I checked and I do have xdg-utils and dbus installed. I'll dive into the settings to see if I messed anything up.
