I don't see any duplications in CC > file associations. When I right click on a plain text file I get the following options to "open with": KWrite KEdit Emacs Create a text document Nedit KWord Kate GEdit Create a text document KWord -------------------- Other....... Embedded KDE Advanced Text Editor Component Create a text document KWord This is no big deal, but it bugs me to have these duplicates. Do you have a text file known type called "english" in your CC entries? I'm not sure if it's something that I added or was there by default. Any idea how I can get them out?
