Bug ID: 413734
Summary: The preview plugin takes mimetype from kate document
type
Product: kate
Version: 19.08.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: plugin-preview
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: sgd.or...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The preview plugin takes mimetype from kate document type which results in
selecting wrong preview kpart application.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open some Qt UI file in kate. Kate rightly sets its mode to XML.
2. Open preview toolview. The plugin shows preview with some kpart.
OBSERVED RESULT
The plugin see internal kate mode as XML, so it tries to search for
applications capable of opening text/xml mimetype.
In my case it finds khtml and opens it in it.
If there is not preview kpart for text/xml mimetype it goes down
the list and selects something which is base on xml, in my case
it thought the UI file was text/rdf and started akregator.
When kate mode is changed to something strange, what probably
does not have default preview kpart, the plugin probably read file
mimetype and selects kpart application based on that, which results
in good preview.
EXPECTED RESULT
The preview application is decided on real file mimetype, not on kate
mode.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Bad workaround is to set default application for text/xml (or any othe)
mimetype to one which you preffer. The drawback is if you work with more
filetypes which are using same mode in kate.
