How to make all filetypes open in a certain program? [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
How do I change the default application for unknown file types?
2 answers
I want every filetype to open in Leafpad.
I tried to edit /usr/share/applications/defaults.list to associate file types.
But I want all filetypes to open in a certain program, with maybe something like */*=leafpad.desktop
How to do it?

What you are asking does not make sense. One program to open all file types by default. Open .mp3, .jpg, .c, .ods for example in the same program. There isn't a program that understands all the file formats. The only program that could handle all formats is a hex editor/viewer and I don't see why you want to do this.

One method could be to go to System settings > Details > Default applications:
Another method can be to right click on the file that you want to associate with a program and select Open with (> Other application...) or select Properties > Open with tab (I think this is the best option) and the rest is pretty self-explanatory. If you, for example, set one MP3 to be opened by the program VLC, then all MP3s would be opened by VLC when double-clicked.
And finally (but not the last one), and, in fact, this I think is what you are looking, another method could be to use assoGiate program - a file types editor. To install it from Terminal, use next command:
sudo apt-get install assogiate

For me, with gnome applications like Dolphin, editing my ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list under the [Default Applications] section I added application/octet-stream=ghex.desktop;
GHex is now an option with unassocated and "Open With" for associated files.
Alternatively on a global scale I edited the ghex .desktop file /usr/share/applications/ghex.desktop as root/sudo to add the line MimeType=application/octet-stream; anywhere (at the end)
I, too, thought */* should have worked but it doesn't.

What you are asking does not make sense. One program to open all file types by default. Open .mp3, .jpg, .c, .ods for example in the same program. There isn't a program that understands all the file formats. The only program that could handle all formats is a hex editor/viewer and I don't see why you want to do this.
