I think this is an upstream implementation issue. KDE applications use kio_html to determine the mime type to decide which application to use on it. That way if have an URL to an image it opens Gwenview instead. You can help by forwarding this issue upstream if not already done. I may also do it, but likely not this week anymore. > This is causing all sorts of problems: > > - there is a lag before opening a URL > - when I click on a URL, I have no way of knowing what is going to > happen.

I bet there is none as to what I know all KDE apps use this mechanism to open URLs and thats why I think its an upstream issue. > -- System Information: […] Thanks, -- Martin
