It'd sure be nice to either select multiple file associations and make a "Add" under Application Preference Order that affects all of them, or, at the very least, to be able to change their settings as a group.  For instance, I was trying to set the graphics files to all be associated with gqview.  It might have been accomplished by selecting all members of the Image group, clicking Add, entering in gqview, etc, or by selecting the Image group itself and doing it there (were it allowed).

I'd say this is out of scope for a simple MimeType Editor tool; you can achieve that sort of bulk changes by editing ~/.config/mimeapps.list file manually.

Also note that not all image types are the same, some can be opened by gwenview and gimp, but some only by gimp ...etc.
