Description Damir Perisa 2003-08-31 20:41:07 UTC

Version:           3.1.3 (using KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.22

i want to be able to restore the user mime settings to the default of the system mime settings from the control center, but the mime settings that do not exist in system config must stay available in the mime user settings

-> rm -r ~/.kde/share/mimelnk 
is not a solution, because you lose all additional mime settings the user had (e.g. if (s)he installed realplayer)

-> this is really usefull if a user has messed with mime and the admin want to restore the system-ones to default (... and if it is an option in Control Center, the user is able to do it by him/herself)

a workaround is: cp -r /opt/kde/share/mimelnk/* ~/.kde/share/mimelnk/*

In KDE >= 4.0.2 this is as simple as rm ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

I'm not entirely sure about adding a button for doing this though; even with a big confirmation dialog, it sounds like losing too many settings in one go...
