Dolphin Not Remembering File Associations Under Hyprland on Arch

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 15:35:01 +0100

Someone had found the reason this was broken AND described their fix on a public git repo on Github, which no doubt has saved me millions of hours: https://github.com/n4zz/Fix-Dolphin-File-Associations

I’ll just be recounting the steps I took following the quick steps described in their repo, mainly so I always have this reference for myself incase it is ever deleted, etc, so you can just follow the link and the steps there (look out for the small typo when renaming the menu file on their repo).
