>  What you expected to happen:
>  1) When changing the default image viewer in  from 'Image Viewer' to 'Shotwell Viewer' a double click on any image should open the image in 'Shotwell Viewer'.
>
>  2) When changing default video player, all video files should open
>  using that app.
>
>  3) When changing default music player, all music files should open
>  using that app.
>
>  What happened instead:
>  1) When clicking on a png, gif, xpm or svg file Ubuntu will open them in 'Image Viewer' instead of the system default image viewer → 'Shotwell Viewer'.
>
>  2) Videos open in Totem even though VLC is selected to be default.
>
>  3) Default music player only works for ogg files
