Description Linus Kardell 2021-12-06 12:30:05 UTC

SUMMARY
When left clicking a file on an FTP server, Dolphin tries to open the file in the default web browser instead of the configured application.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to an FTP server in Dolphin
2. Find a file to open
3. Verify that it is bound to the correct application (e.g. for a text file, the top option in the right click menu i "Open with Kate")
4. Click the file

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin tries to open the file in the default web browser (I say tries, because my browser doesn't support FTP)

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should open the file in the application configured for the file type

What is your default browser?

Firefox advertises itself as a handler for FTP but can't actually handle it. That's an OpenSUSE bug I think.

However there also seems to be a bug in KDE stuff. It looks like it chooses the default app for ftp:// links over the default app for that file type

I reported the Firefox issue in https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1193455

I use Firefox. Though it might also open it in Vivaldi if I change the default browser to that.
