Description Ivo Anjo 2007-12-12 10:49:05 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

This bug is also present in kde3, but it seems to go by rather unnoticed.

I'm currently using apps from kde3 and kde4, so have two versions of some of them (two gwenview's, etc), and sometimes I'm inside dolphin and I want to open a file with the kde3 version of an app, so I use the open with dialog, and type the full path (for example /opt/kde3/bin/gwenview), but the full path gets ignored and the kde4 version of the app is launched (in this case, gwenview).

I've reported this bug against dolphin because I'm not sure where the code for the open with dialog sits.

SVN commit 897409 by dfaure:

Fix url/text confusion in KUrlRequester which wrote "Exec=kate --use %25U" instead of "Exec=kate --use %U" when typing the latter in KOpenWithDialog.
Also fix KOpenWithDialog replacing the typed exec line with the one from a service that is about the same binary (oops).
