Confirming this problem. It may just be a configuration issue somewhere I couldn't find, but the default action for unknown file types should be the handler selection dialogue, not sending it to a connected device.

So it's either a change in Dolphin, or KIO, or some other KDE Framework related to MimeTypes? Uhg, can't find it. It's possible that the change is related to "mime inheritance" instead of "application/octet-stream". * KIO Search: https://invent.kde.org/search?search=application%2Foctet-stream&nav_source=navbar&project_id=2729&group_id=1552&search_code=true&repository_ref=master * (3 years ago) `KCoreDirLister::setMimeFilter` https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blame/master/src/core/kcoredirlister.cpp?page=3#L2319 * (2 years ago) `KFileItemPrivate::determineMimeTypeHelper` https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blame/master/src/core/kfileitem.cpp#L550 * (4 years ago) `KFileItem::currentMimeType` https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blame/master/src/core/kfileitem.cpp?page=2#L1667 * (7 months ago) `KFileFilterCombo::setMimeFilter` https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blame/master/src/filewidgets/kfilefiltercombo.cpp#L248 * (2 years ago) `KFileWidgetPrivate::updateAutoSelectExtension` https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blame/master/src/filewidgets/kfilewidget.cpp?page=3#L2300 * (3 years ago) `HTTPProtocol::davParsePropstats` https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blame/master/src/kioworkers/http/http.cpp#L932 * (7 years ago) `HTTPProtocol::fixupResponseMimetype` https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blame/master/src/kioworkers/http/http.cpp?page=3#L2605 * (7 years ago) `http.json "defaultMimetype"` https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blame/master/src/kioworkers/http/http.json#L7 * (1 year ago) `kfileitemactions.cpp mimeTypeListContains` https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blame/master/src/widgets/kfileitemactions.cpp#L61 * (7 months ago) `KFileItemActionsPrivate::addPluginActionsTo` https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blame/master/src/widgets/kfileitemactions.cpp#L533 * (1 year ago) `KFilePropsPlugin::slotEditFileType` https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blame/master/src/widgets/kpropertiesdialog.cpp?page=2#L1234 * (1 year ago) `KFilePropsPlugin::updateDefaultHandler` https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blame/master/src/widgets/kpropertiesdialog.cpp?page=2#L1595 * Dolphin Search (No Results): https://invent.kde.org/search?repository_ref=master&search=application%2Foctet-stream&search_code=true&scope=projects&group_id=1561&project_id=2775 * KService (kbuildsycoca5) (A few autotests): https://invent.kde.org/search?repository_ref=master&search=application%2Foctet-stream&search_code=true&scope=projects&group_id=1552&project_id=2379 * (3 years ago) Fix application preference ordering for mimetypes with multiple inheritance. https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kservice/-/commit/d4c9cb9d0652c1ed7ba504335a50ea6bca7851e5 ----- Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230823 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.109.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 Kernel Version: 6.4.11-1-default (64-bit) I think it's https://invent.kde.org/network/kdeconnect-kde/-/commit/7569a6ceffc6fc169186e401d33ce1f2049ec5e4 > This also triggers KDE Connect when clicking on an unknown file format after downloading in Chromium.
IMO this is the biggest issue and I'm not sure whether it's solvable. We could add hacks in KIO and everywhere else to treat the fallback mimetype application/octet-stream as unknown even if there exists a handler, but this wouldn't fix it for applications not using KIO and also result in weird behaviour in that it has a handler, but can't open it.
IMO the handler should be removed until a solution can be found.
Thanks Ilia, that's the commit while the file was fixed and thus started to work as intended (which seems to be problematic). I'm going to remove this feature until we find a way to do this without causing the problems described.

Created attachment 160565 [details] File Associations window with KDE Connect Open As... Not sure if this bug is in Dolphin or KDE Connect, but when right clicking on any file in Dolphin, I get "Open with Open on connected device via KDE Connect" for all files as the top option, regardless of file type. This also triggers KDE Connect when clicking on an unknown file format after downloading in Chromium. Version of KDE Connect is 21.12.3-0ubuntu1 on KDE Neon. I've searched through the File Associations menu and the option also appears there for all file types (side note, I thought I read recently there was a way to change all File Associations at once, but I can't figure it out.) I've also search through various mimetypes files on the system but did not find that option. Desired resolution would be to remove this association everywhere it occurs.
