Description FiNeX 2008-12-10 13:48:32 UTC

If I drag and drop a remote url (from konqui/dolphin url address) to plasma desktop containment, I'm asked if I want to create an icon. This icon will have no label, while local directories dropped on the desktop containment shows the directory name as label.

Even dropping the "/" (root) directory doesn't assign it a label.

Comment 1 Sebastian Sauer 2008-12-10 15:44:19 UTC

With urls dropped from Konqi to the desktop the reason is, that the mimetype is "application/octet-stream" which isn't assigned to any app here. If I do a hardcoded;
if(mimetype=="application/octet-stream") mimetype="text/html";
it works fine (name is used and clicking on the item opens it using the assigned app (konqi in my case)).

@sebsaur: where are you putting that line which "fixes" it? (sounds like we may need to double check the mimetype of dropped urls at some point in the code..)
