Description Christoph Burger-Scheidlin 2005-06-21 17:04:47 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

Setup: SFTP connection with konqueror, trying to open file of unknown/unassociated extension. 

If I select kate in the list of applications, kate opens the file sftp://......
Apparently, konqueror executes "kate %U", giving kate the whole file name.

Now I did the same but ticked "Remember application association for this type of file"
Kate starts up, but displays file://.... Checking the file associtations tab, the association shows up to only execute "kate" and not "kate %U".

I would expect the file association to be made to reflect just what happens when I do not tick "Remember...".

Note: this bug is related to bug 107335, insofar as it has the same setup. 107335 deals with konqueror deleting the temporary file for kate, since it returns control to konqueror

Filed twice

Comment 2 Christoph Burger-Scheidlin 2005-06-21 17:22:14 UTC

I get exactly one bug on my query for the summary (all bug categories). I did submit twice, but only because I got an "Internal Server Error" on my first attempt and assumed (correctly as it appears) that the bug was not entered the first time.

Comment 3 Christoph Burger-Scheidlin 2005-06-21 17:24:09 UTC

It appears, that all of my file associations with kate get overridden. Do I need to write "kate %U" in the box where it asks me for the application to run? So far I just put "kate"

Keep the full Exec line from the existing service, when checking "remember application association for this type of file".
