Danny,
Two comments to make:
1. Did you ever send the packager an email on this directly, or report it as
a bug to bugs.kde.org ? I am not sure that I remember seeing a mail on this
and your message doesn't say who your talking to.
2. KDE2 is 100% development code, which is why it is in Cooker (our
development area). It changes on a daily basis almost. You run a risk when
you run cooker. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I know each and
every one of the Mandrake developers are concerned when something doesn't
work, or doesn't install properly. And most of the time it gets fixed in
hours.
The file association problem should be solved. It was a menu problem. And I
was most likely part of the causes, I forgot to pick up a lot of the menu
entries, that's the good news. The bad news is that you need to download and
install all of the latest kde2 packages to get this fixed. There is no other
way, each package contains the menu entries for the apps in that package and
also contains the mimetypes.
Please feel free to email me directly, but please include version numbers and
packages installed.
Thanks!
-Chris
