Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) Compiler: gcc version 4.3.2 OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs I cannot get a file name pattern to be associated with a MIME type other than the system default. In this case, I wish *.ts to mean transport stream files, and be treated the same as other patterns associated with video/mpeg (like *.mpg, *.vob etc), and be opened with the same applications. My system has *.ts associated with application/x-linguist by default. Despite removing the pattern via the file associations dialog (and adding it to video/mpeg) there is no change in behaviour. The next time I open the dialog, the pattern appears under both types. Removing the x-linguist MIME type and pressing OK appears to work (ie: no error message), but if I open the dialog again, both it and the *.ts pattern are back. The only thing that did work: removing qtlinguist as the default application for application/x-linguist. Adding an application for *.ts adds it to application/x-linguist. The fact that *.ts is also under video/mpeg is ignored. In summary: system settings for file associations cannot be overridden. I'm using OpenSUSE 11.1 x86_64, with the KDE 4.2 packages from the repository, in case it makes any difference. Steve
SVN commit 942204 by dfaure: Improve usability, especially of the "Remove" button: For system-defined mimetypes, don't offer to "Remove", but only to "Revert" to the system mimetype. With full tooltip+whatsThis in both cases, removing and reverting. In theory the user should be able to make a system mimetype unused for local files by clearing its patterns list, but that is a missing feature in shared-mime-info (no patterns -> the global ones are used again), I just emailed the xdg list about it. Meanwhile you have to add a dummy pattern (*.willneverexist) to achieve this.

SVN commit 951933 by dfaure: Add support for the new <glob-deleteall> element in shared-mime-info, and change kbuildsycoca's globs2 file parser to add rather than replace, by default, as discussed on xdg-list. This allows users to delete all patterns from a mimetype in keditfiletype. BUG: 184181 Note: this will only really work after the next shared-mime-info release. With shared-mime-info <= 0.60, deleteall has no effect so globs are always appended.
