Hi Experts,
I'm using Fedora 32 with MATE Desktop. When I click on a '.flac file in filemanager audacity starts. How can I change this? I want the play command to start.
Thx in advance, Frank Elsner

Hi Frank,
Your file manager should give you a right click open as function with a remember this as default option.
You can also manually edit the list at ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and remove what you don't want. They can be added back later with whatever "Open As" function your file manager has.
HTH, -T

What is the "play" command? Which application would you prefer to come up? If you right-click the file, is there an "open with" option?

If you are using kde you can change the list of applications that can open various mimetypes by going to "System Settings->Personalization->Applications->File Associations". This has a list of a number of mimetype categories, each containing a list of mimetypes. Its just a matter of going through these lists to find the mimetype relevant to the file you are trying to display and then modifying the list of applications that can work with that mimetype. The application that is listed at the top of the list for the relevant mimetype is the default application to use, you can either add a new application to the list and/or change the order of the applications.
regards, Steve

"play" is part of "SoX - Sound eXchange, the Swiss Army knife of audio manipulation" and does what the name says.

Since that's a console application, it is not going to be available to use by default. You will need to make your own .desktop file for that.
