Description Michael Braun 2008-06-06 15:57:26 UTC

Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

I've got a shortcut to a Java aplication in my "desktop" folder view. With Gnome and KDE3 I can start the application (shortcut) after a left click on the icon. In the folder view it opens the Java fileitselves in an editor. Could you please solve this problem?

What happens when you click the file in Dolphin?

If it opens in an editor, then your mimetypes are set up wrong.  If it opens the application, then Plasma is at fault.

I can't reproduce this when I've set up the mimetypes correctly (ie: I've told KDE to always open .jar files with the command line "java -jar"), the behaviour is identical (and correct) in folderview and Dolphin.

I suspect the problem is simply that the user hasn't set up KDE to open .jar files with java.

Also, reporter hasn't responded after a month.  So closing WORKSFORME.
