How to fix program and file association?

Question

My system is Gentoo amd64, with Gnome3. I found some of the files/actions are associated with the wrong program.

e.g.: when I plug in my usb drive, the associated program is RawTherapee, a raw image processing tool, instead of the nautilus.

How can I fix it?

Definitely I can do that. But that is less ideal. I would like to have the most used program being associated with the files/actions. — David S., Aug 12, 2012 at 9:53
Thanks. But this only works for files. I am also having trouble with devices, like when plugging in a USB disk. :) — David S., Aug 12, 2012 at 9:56

Associating most used types of files with applications in Gnome 3 is done through

System Settins >> System >> Details >> Default Applications

In the same pane you have "Removable Media" where you can "Select how media should be handled".
