Yes certainly, that worked! But I expected a box for "always do this," 
there was none. It always defaulted to HandBrake no matter what I did. I 
wasn't even sure that it was Thunar since to confuse the issue it is 
renamed File Manager. Finally "alacarte" to the rescue where I could 
look at the "properties" and then changed the launcher command to 
/usr/bin/thunar.

It would seem simpler to fix from the command line if I knew what/where 
the pertinent files were.

How xdg-mime would be used to change this is not obvious to me after 
reading the man page.

Thanks,

Bob
