Description Martin Koller 2009-08-13 13:44:39 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I start systemsettings/Configure file associations and select
text/plain

It holds some filename patterns
*,v
*.asc
*.doc
*.txt

from which I want to remove *.doc
I remove it, click apply.
When I now close systemsettings and reopen file associations,
the *.doc is again in the list of patterns.

Why can't I remove this pattern ?

Because I had to pull some strings upstream to get this supported ;-)
It's finally supported in shared-mime-info CVS, but there hasn't been a release of shared-mime-info with this feature (called <glob-deleteall>).
I have another thing to implement in shared-mime-info today, then I'll push for a release to happen.

In any case, the code in KDE is ready for this already.
