Created attachment 188818 [details] A better ordering for video files and the bad default ordering for audio files. SUMMARY MediaInfo is put as first and the priority is bad anyway in open program preference order STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install multiple video and audio players, like Haruna, Dragon, MPV, VLC, Strawberry. 2. Install multiple information and editing tools for media files, like MediaInfo, MKVToolnix, Hnandbrake, Subtitle Composer. 3. Try to open a video file or audio file for playback by double-clicking or selecting it and pressing Enter. 4. Look also the the open program priorities order. OBSERVED RESULT When multiple video, audio players or multiple information / editing tools or all together are installed, the open file for playback with a video or audio player is not the default and the second or third choice in the Context menu -> Open with submenu is not the best. EXPECTED RESULT I expected that Plasma understands or make educated guesses about which programs I want / prefer a certain media file to be opened with, like: Video files (.mkv, .mp4, etc.) to be opened with: 1. Haruna 2. MPC (Since it's using the same back-end as Haruna and provides best video quality, but it might be too hard for laptops, so it's fine if it's put after VLC, as VLC like Haruna drops some quality to have good performance) 3. VLC (Very popular and good, but it must be after Haruna and MPV because it doesn't support HDR) 4. Dragon 5. Other video players Audio files (.flac, .mp3, etc.) to be opened with: 1. Strawberry 2. Qmmp 3. DeadBeeF 4. VLC 5. Other audio players Information tools like MediaInfo should not be prioritized. Editing tools like MKVToolnix and Handbrake should not be prioritized either. I have them to look at the precise information or to edit the files to correct or to add things, but it doesn't mean that I want to open every single file with them. As for MediaInfo it would be better if it had its own entry in the context menu like on Windows. Or even better if Plasma used it as a dependency and showed all its information in the 'Details' tab of the 'Properties' pop-up window, I would probably not even need to install it at all. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Look at the attached printscreen how they looks like by default for audio (FLAC) files! I put also the window how it looks like for video files (MKV), but I don't think it looks like that by default as I think I edited that for annoying me way too often compared to audio files which only recently I got and there is not 'Default' button to restore the default ordering before I edited it. But I think MediaInfo was the default for video files too.
