I noticed something similar recently: videos where opened with Mplayer
although mpv was configured as default application. The same goes for
images: they where opened with Mirage instead of Geeqie. In both cases
the application shown as default application in the file properties and
shown in the context menu (= eventually opened) are different.

All of this occurred seemingly all of sudden and might be related to one
or another package update. I did workaround this issue by removing the
falsely opened applications.

I just did another check right now by reinstalling Mirage: the old
behavior returns. The first entry for image/jpeg indeed was
"mirage.desktop" in my ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list, but
even after removing that entry and force-closing Thunar (-q) nothing
changes.

If someone has an idea what could cause this issue, please speak up. :-)
