What!?? Fixed???
I am using Cervisia 2.1 (KDE3.2.0) right now and it still isn't possible to change the editor, and the help still says it IS possible!

Am I missing something? Why is this bug closed/fixed? Which version?

Hello all ,
I'm also using de KDE3.2 version and I'm missing this configuration VERY HARD.
The "editor" selection is removed in favor  of only using the krun class to
start-up an application that can handle the mime-type of the file.
This may work nice for images, but what about shell scripts.
If i select edit with a shell script , it will not open an editor and
let me edit the file, but instead run the script :-(
Also , other text files like perl scripts have there mime-type link to kwrite
which i don't like. i would like to use kate.
It's not handy to search all possible mime-type and change them to kate.
Why is the KDE component chooser setting not respected (it's set to kate)





The selection should be a little bit smarter , and respect the global editor setting .
