Or, if you've gone the whole hog (like me), right-click an ISO in dolphin, choose "properties" and on the general pane, click "file type options". Here you can add / remove handlers and prioritize which one you would like by default. IIRC, this deals with mime types, so won't just affect dolphin.

How do I find out what mimetypes are associated with an application?
Going the other way is a simple "System Settings" options, except that
(a) I don't have a clue what half these mimetypes are, and (b) I don't
fancy going through ALL of them one by one looking for the program in
question. Oh - and I searched the web which kindly pointed me to the
config file .local/share/applications/defaults.list - except it doesn't
exist ...

All I want to do is find out what extensions Kate has tagged itself onto
- what it thinks it's going to do with a dot-iso I *do* not know!

Seeing it's Kate you're interested in, I assume you have much of the rest of
plasma installed. In that case, in the control panel (sorry - System Settings)
go to Applications, then File Associations. Put the program you're interested
in in the search box, et - viola!
