Description Grósz Dániel 2023-06-15 05:29:38 UTC 
SUMMARY
If I try to open a file with a different application (or a directory with a file manager) using the Filesystem sidebar's context menu, it asks what application I want to open it with (as if I clicked Open With/Other) even if I've already clicked on an application.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In the Filesystem panel, right click on a file, directory, or the empty space below the icons.
2. In Open With, click on an application.

OBSERVED RESULT
Shows the Choose Application dialog.

EXPECTED RESULT
Opens the file/directory with the chosen application.

Fix open with in Filesystem view

KateFileActions::showOpenWithMenu expects the desktop path to be given
in the action's data as a string instead of as a StringList.
