There was no option to add it either, so I settled for another. The reason I wanted to change it in the first place is that Shotwell takes forever to load to view pictures.

Thank you for your email! I think this is related, just not well described. I think I remember that this kind of feature didn't work in MS Windows either. The way I understand this feature is whatever application is set as default application should be tried first to open a file with a probable extension.

Yes, but as you know, the main point is that there is no functioning GUI for setting default applications.

Re: [Bug 876897] Re: Changing Default Application for Music/Video/Photos has no effect on some registered types
Thank you for your email! Actually there is such an option, just at another place. When you right click on the file and go to properties, there is a tab called Open with it lists a number of applications and you can choose one and click on Set as default. In my option this does suffice. Having a global option, as in the bug I opened (which is a duplicate of another bug), I think would make it even more user-friendly. Otherwise I don't see the use of having the Default setting control panel under settings, when that setting doesn't have any effect.
