Description Christoph Feck 2023-03-14 01:03:00 UTC
With the Filesystem Browser side panel plugin enabled in Kate, I can RMB-click on a file and get an "Open With" menu item.
The contents of the submenu lists (for example, on my system): "KWrite", "Okular", "Other...".
When I select "KWrite" or "Okular", it still opens the application chooser, as if I had selected "Other...".
This is a minor regression compared to some older versions, and could be a KIO widgets bug.

Versions: KF5 git of Frameworks and Apps.

Most likely a KIO bug, Kate mostly just reuses KIO widgets and plugs it into a layout. Even saving / restoring the config is in the hands of KIO

Some commit fixed this.
