Public bug reported: Binary package hint: krusader
Krusader, dolphin and other KDE applications incorrectly map the application/x-jar mime type. Gnome and XFCE and other non-KDE applications correctly interpret *.jar as application/x-jar, but not KDE. I have followed all of the KDE instructions including: http://www.krusader.org/handbook/faq_usage.html#faqu_jar http://www.krusader.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=9166 And have scoured my mimelnk and other *.desktop files and have verified that *.jar is only associated with Java and never zip. KDE incorrectly treats *.jar as application/zip anyways. I have verified that krusader has no jar or java-archive or any thing else in the karc protocol and have verified that *.jar is mapped correctly under the KDE4 system settings application (file mapping). KDE still stubbornly treats *.jar as a zip file. As a result I cannot launch java applications packaged as jar files without running it by hand. I have exhausted google and all other resources, no one has replied to my launchpad question (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/51806) in over a month and have come to the conclusion that it is probably a bug. Versions: xubuntu intrepid krusader 2.0~svn6078-1ubuntu1 dolphin 4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 systemsettings 4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 kdebase-data 4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 Sorry if it is not a bug, but I just cannot find any reason why KDE would map *.jar as a zip file. ** Affects: dolphin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: krusader (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: dolphin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- KDE always associates *.jar with the zip mime type https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309778 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
