Seems more like the distinction between a user-defined preference (*Preferred Applications* button in the Xfce Settings Manager) and a system-wide default (/etc/alternatives being designed for the case where the user has failed to specify a particular preference among two or more alternatives). That rclone would privilege the former over the latter seems completely reasonable to me. > https://xkcd.com/927/ > > Kind regards, > Andrei > http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser >
