Description Jens 2004-08-04 14:33:20 UTC
Version:           3.2.3 (using KDE 3.2.3, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.5-7.95-default

Hi,

Konqueror does not update MIME type descriptions when they are editied via a file's properties.

Open a *.m file's properties (which according to Konqueror is "Objective C source").
Open the file association window by clicking on the icon next to the File type description.
Change the description to "Matlab Source Code", click OK, click OK, refresh Konqueror.

The file will still show up as "Objective C Source", and if you re-open the edit window, it will still show "Objective C Source" as the description. Seems the description was not updated on disk.

If you change the apps to open .m files (or their order), this gets applied and saved properly.


Thank you!

Jens Benecke

Hello,

I can still reproduce this bug with KDE 3.3.2 (with a normal user account).
This shows up in .xsession-errors:

kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KActionCollection::KActionCollection( QObject *parent, const char *name, KInstance *instance )
kbluetoothd: ERROR: HciSocket::open(): Error creating socket
appending message to ~/dead.letter.tmp
appending message to ~/dead.letter.tmp
kbuildsycoca running...
Reusing existing ksycoca
kbluetoothd: ERROR: HciSocket::open(): Error creating socket
kio (KMimeType): WARNING: 'kdeveloplanguagesupport.desktop' specifies undefined mimetype/servicetype 'KDevelop/Part'


I think that does not have anything to do with the MIME type problem, at least not directly with this bug. 

Please have a look what is going wrong here. Thank you! ;)

Jens

Works fine for 3.4.0. 

Jens, let us know if you disagree with this.
Comment 3 Jens 2005-04-27 11:00:44 UTC
Hi,

Sorry ... does not work here.

Try removing the "Microsoft" from "AVI-Video (Microsoft)" in the properties of AVI files. It does not work here. (perhaps due to German locale being active?)

Using KDE 3.4.0 RPMs from SuSE 9.3.

Thanks,
Jens

I still can't reproduce, can any other's with German locale give it a try.

Here. KDE 3.4.1 (compiled by SuSE) on SuSE 9.3.

Right click on a PPT file (MIME-description: "MS-Powerpoint-Präsentation").
Click on the button right to the type (shows "MS-Powerpoint-Präsentation").
Delete "MS-" from the description.
Press OK.
Wait for the associations to update (progress dialog).
Properties window still shows "MS-Powerpoint-Präsentation.
Click OK.
Konq still shows "MS-Powerpoint-Präsentation".

.xsession-errors does not show any output during this action.
Comment 6 Philip Rodrigues 2006-08-30 13:17:27 UTC
I can't reproduce this either with r575787.
Comment 7 Cyrill Helg 2006-08-30 13:37:28 UTC
I can reproduce this bug on kde 3.5.4 using german language and localized kde.
Comment 8 lexual 2006-08-30 14:28:26 UTC
confirmed
Comment 9 Florian Sievert 2006-08-30 17:07:42 UTC
I also can confirm this also (KDE 3.5.4,FC5)
Comment 10 mario tuling 2008-05-13 15:32:21 UTC
confirmed in 4.0.4
step by step instructions:

get multiple files of the same type, e.g. png
open the contextmenu for one of the files and select properties
open "edit file type"
change the description to PONG instead of PNG for example.
close it with ok
in the properties dialog there is still PNG. then close it. 
if you hover over the different png files, you will notice in the statusbar is still written PNG, but the one you changed is a PONG file now.
Comment 11 Jaime Torres 2008-07-26 13:35:06 UTC
I have followed the steps in commentary #10, and I got the expected behavior in 4.1.60 svn trunk 831729.
Comment 12 FiNeX 2009-09-17 00:16:20 UTC
On current trunk (r1024501) the description cannot be saved... maybe there is another bug ...
Comment 13 Janek Bevendorff 2012-06-18 19:38:56 UTC
Is this fixed? Please recheck for Konqueror 4.8.4 or later and update the version field accordingly. Thank you.
