Version: 3.4.1 (using KDE 3.4.1, Debian Package 4:3.4.1-1 (3.1)) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.6 (Debian 1:3.3.6-5) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-2-686 When Control Center->Panels->Menus->"Menu item format" is set to "Name (Description)" or "Description (Name)", this naming convention should be used in "Open With" dialogs. In other words, if I see "Kaffeine (Media Player)" in the K->Multimedia menu, I should also see that in the "Open With" submenu when right-clicking a video file on my desktop or in Konqueror file manager. The same for the "Open with" dialog window that appears when double-clicking unknown file types, or when selecting "Open With->Other..." when right-clicking a file.
(Thinking about it, the "Menu item format" preference really makes little sense being in "Panels->Menus", but perhaps that's another bug to report. ;^) )
This setting is now managed per-widget (i.e. KMenu and Dashboard menu may have different settings for example). Where should "Open with" read the setting from?
Git commit f5d5390f32d2d9ba9c88f6c3c4a5cbc4bf34142a by Ahmad Samir. Committed on 28/03/2020 at 11:35. Pushed by ahmadsamir into branch 'master'. [KOpenWithDialog] Add generic name from .desktop files as a tooltip Summary: Extend the current setup by adding a tooltip based on the generic name entry from the .desktop files. This is especially useful for new users who don't know what each application in the list can be used for. Test Plan: make && ctest And a quick test of the openwith dialog, a tooltip is displayed for most entries.

The above commit doesn't exactly fix this bug, but I didn't want to clutter the view in the openwith dialog (and also not irk experienced users who already know what each app does). I'll close this report. Feel free to reopen it if you disagree.
Thanks! :)
