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
