I can't be sure whether the existence of the latter prevents the /etc
file being read, or just overrides it. In any case, the first matching
rule is what is used, so if it's there it needs to be correct.

It looks as if you've just replaced the shell command with feh.
I don't know what feh thinks of ALL_FORMATS, but it needs removing.

Rant: I won't have feh on my system. man feh says
"feh — image viewer and cataloguer" but it will
happily modify your pictures (unless you set
-r--r--r--) without a word, ie it's an EDITOR,
not a viewer.

Cheers,
David.
