I have some Freemind mindmap files ending with the .mm filename. Up

Anyone any idea how I can change the default application for these .mm

Just an idea...
Try by adding (you can also copy/paste) a new ".desktop" entry for the
program at "/usr/share/applications" so Freemind appears as a
selectable option.
I just tried this and it didn't work. There was already a
freemind.desktop file in .local/share/applications and I just copied it
over to /usr/share/applications/
What was exactly not working? Can't you see Freemind now available as a
selectable option? Did you relogin? :-?
After relogin in, nothing changed. If I right click on a file with the
.mm extension gedit is shown as the first application, freemind as the
second - there is an option to select other applications.
If I select other applications - either from that menu above - or by
right clicking on the file and choosing properties then selecting the
"Open With" tab and finally pressing the Other Applications button - the
list I am presented with does not contain freemind. I seem therefore to
have no way to set it as the default application
Also, look at your "~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list" and check
if the corresponding mimetype appears.
Not sure what you mean
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list contains an entry that I have
now edited as follows
application/x-freemind=freemind.desktop;
(it previously said
applications/x-freemind=gedit.desktop;freemind.desktop;)
and then logged out and back in. No change to any behaviour.
mimeinfo.cache has the same line (the freemind only version), as does
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
