Description north 2010-05-13 08:29:22 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Setting up mime type for x-spc with filename glob *.spc doesn't do shit. The files come up as something totally different. Bottom line is that associations set by the user should ALWAYS override systemwide globs or magics for that user's sessions.

Will be attaching screenshot shortly.

this is still the case in plasma 5.8 on fully updated Arch. 

And it is really disturbing: There should be a simple way to set up user AND desktop specific mime types. 

Also I wonder why nobody else is concerned -  is this a setup specific bug? 
It affected me with every setup I tried.... 

thx for reading, p.
