Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

In Version 17.12.3 (KDE Frameworks 5.47.0) the bug still reproducible.

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!

Yes, in K3b Version 22.04.3, the behavior is still the same. Dolphin now thinks it invokes (for example) kate OK, but in reality kate opens a non-existing file...
