Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages hello, it is not possible to change the file association in the kde system settings. how to reproduce: 1. start the kde systemsettings with "sudo systemsettings" 2. select file associations on the second tab (Extended?) 3. select the pdf file association: per default i have the following associations: 1: Gimp Image Editor (which starts with gimp-2.6 %U) 2. Okular (which starts with okular %U %i -caption "%c") 4. i tried to change the command for okular to "okular %U" but it does not work. a dialog is shown that the system settings will be updated, but that does not work. for some reason i can see the okular entry twice after i tried to change the command !! both entries still have the command (okular %U %i -caption "%c").
Can you modify them running it as your normal user (instead of using "sudo" ) ??
no i cannot change it as a normal user, the behavious is the same. on the console i can see the following messages. maybe they help you: andy@laptop2:~/Desktop/kraft$ systemsettings(8970) MainWindow::selectionChanged: Selected item: "Dateizuordnungen" systemsettings(8970) MainWindow::selectionChanged: Comment: "Dateizuordnungen vornehmen" systemsettings(8970) MainWindow::selectionChanged: Needs root privs: false systemsettings(8970) KFileMetaPropsPlugin::supports: systemsettings(8970) KDEPrivate::KDesktopPropsPlugin::applyChanges: ("application/vnd.kde.okular-archive")
Right. I fixed this for 4.2.1 in r921138. " Fix duplicated applications in the K menu and in keditfiletype, because kded was creating kservices with absolute paths and not letting local ones override global ones. Fixes bug 179946, bug 179462, bug 182060 "
