Thanks, Carl, for the advice. I have XFCE 4.14. It didn't let me change the applications at all. So I figured out how to get in as root and run an XFCE session from there. Sorted out other XFCE settings (I'd never run XFCE as root on this system before), checked what applications showed for each under root. A LOT fewer, and no trace of Hugin anywhere.

Then I exited the root XFCE session, restarted the computer, logged in to my user XFCE session - and everything was fine. Back to normal.

Computers are weird! 😉

The Settings Manager
<https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/4.16/manager> has a
"Personal" area that shows "Preferred Applications". I think that`s
where you can change those "Default" applications (third tab).

On my Debian Bookworm system running XFCE, somehow Hugin has been set
as the "Default" application for a whole pile of file types that
belong to other applications. Examples: application/ecmascript,
application/kdenlivelayout, application/mathematica,
application/pgp-keys, etc, etc.

But the big functional problem is that double clicking a plain text
file (such as "filename.txt") tries to open it in Hugin.

I'm using Hugin compiled locally.

Using the XFCE default applications tool for assigning applications to
types doesn't let me reset; changing any of them to what they should
be just sets it to "Default", which is Hugin.

Ideas????
