Description Luc 2010-12-27 21:42:04 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

When using the preview mode of dolphin:
the preview of "Desktop file"s shows an icon of "text file" instead of the icon of the .desktop file (ie the icon of the application).

The bug occurs if dolphin is also configured to show the preview of text files.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Use the preview mode of dolphin. In the preferences, also check "Show previews for text files" (Preferences > General > Previews).

2) Go to a location where there is a desktop file.

3) => the file appears as a text file and not as a desktop file.

Actual Results:  
Example: go to /usr/share/applications/kde4/
amarok.desktop file should appears as the amarok logo.
Instead, it appears as a text file preview "[Desktop Entry] Type=Application version=1.0 Name=Am"

Expected Results:  



Remark: during a fraction of second, the preview of the files is correct. But after the text preview arrives...
