Bug Description

Binary package hint: gramps

Gramps is claiming XML files that are nothing to do with it. In this particular case, something I exported on Windows with EndNote.

The report at the gramps site for this says:

IIRC this is the XML file that had the problem.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta?

I suspect that Gramps may have become associated with XML files in Gnome, in which case this would be a configuration error on the individual PC? If you right-click on the XML file you will see what the default program for that file type is, and you can change it through the Open with... option.
