Panic when mimeapps.list is not writable

1sixth commented 2 years ago

It seems that handlr expects mimeapps.list to be writable even handlr doesn't need to write to it.

$ handlr --version
handlr 0.6.4
$ chmod -w ~/.config/mimeapps.list
$ export RUST_BACKTRACE=full
$ handlr --version

I think handlr should try to write to mimeapps.list only if called with set, unset and add.

That makes it a no-go on declarative distros like NixOS and Guix :(

this was fixed in https://github.com/chmln/handlr/pull/48 however there hasn't been a release since
