Re: Uninstall noatun
It would be complicated, because no all player are based on KDE. MPlayer, for example, it's text based originally, and has a GUI based in GTK. I don't think that the developers of mplayer are interested in implementing a command line option to register as a kde default player. So the best option is still that you select your preffered player. Maybe the best option is think in a better way to select the prefered player, or ask to the developers of debian to select a better default player in the distribution. Another important thing is that noatun isn't used anymore in kde 4, wait some time and maybe you will have a better default player. 2009/2/6 santilin > I think you are right.

Re: Uninstall noatun
I think you are right. So, the improvement would be something like re-registering the file associations for players. For example, if I run: vlc --register-with-kde mplayer --register-with-kde noatun --register-with-kde it would register and place on top all the file associations it knows about. What do you think?

Re: Uninstall noatun
I don think that's a bug. If you have a preferred player, it wouldn't be nice that anytime that you install another, it changes. There are many players in GNU/Linux, and many of them are based on KDE. I have around 4 installed, and I use it in different situations. I'm sure that Noatun isn't the better one, but it's the default for the KDE package, maybe because for most people is enough.

Especially with media files one wants to have many players around in case some weired format comes up. But then you have realplayer even doing your .wav files, totally messing up the integrated KDE experience. Btw. this is application preference is one reason why I use Konqueror. Firefox/Iceweasel still presents me with some weired Gnome apps only. Christoph

Ah, interesting how that meets... KDE does a poor job with file association. While you left click to open the file, and you could correct the program forever using the context menu, instead you need to open the control menu and do a difficult search. I tend to remove unusable players like noatun instead of spending too much time on resetting all those associations. You could create a feature request for KDE 4.3, you have my vote. Christoph
