Version: 3.2.0 (using KDE 3.2.0, compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.22 problem is the mimetype image/svg+xml which has an entry X-KDE-IsAlso=text/xml This xml-addition associates svg files with text editors and the khtml-component. This surely makes sense, but is annoying, because most of the time you want to view the svg-drawing and not don't want to edit it's underlying xml-code... I know how to change the order by changing share/config/profilerc for a single user but I don't know how to do this system-wide.
Still the case with KDE 3.2.2
Though some users might actually want to see the code, but .svgz files - gzip'ed svg's - should not be associated with text editors at all. Well, that might be a problem since there is no separate mime type for svgz files. Also, Adobe (and perhaps others) likes to use xml-svg, not xml+svg, as the mime type, and xml-svg does not have any associated program at all.

I also think KSVGPlugin should be the default for previewing local svg files. The current behavior is to preview in Konqueror, which then displays a XML parser error.
