Bug ID: 371640 Summary: File type assocations override Gnome preferences Product: systemsettings Version: 5.8.2 Platform: Archlinux Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: kcm_filetypes Assignee: fa...@kde.org Reporter: piedro.kul...@googlemail.com As I understand there is a file for desktop specific mime type preferences: The file association dialog doesn't write to "~/.config/kde-mimeapps.list". This leads to overlap with the Gnome desktop preferences. The mechanism for using a desktop specific file type association file is already there implemented in the XDG standard - it should clearly be used. Otherwise users have to reset their association preferences every time they start another DE. Or build their mime type lists manually which seems a bit challenging... Please just change the location where the file type associations are stored so they only apply to KDE and do not interfere with the preferences of Gnome and XFCE and what ever else there is by using the intended methods... thx for reading, piedro Reproducible: Always -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
