See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
Windows 7 have nice option to "Set this program as default" for file types supported by it, it's very useful for video/audioplayers and archive viewer apps.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to settings -> applications -> File Associations
2. There's no way to set program as default for file types supported by it.
3. Sad

OBSERVED RESULT
No way to do this.

EXPECTED RESULT
Have a way to do this.
