Version: (using KDE 4.2.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages KWrite has problem with opening plain text without an extension. I have many files with translation in Polish from dot.kde.org and don't use extensions. usually: 1. I create a new text file without an extension 2. Open it with Kwrite 3. KWrite opens it 4. Put some text in Polish and save the file 5. The next time the preview on right sidebar shows that the text contains binary data (icon) or it is an unknown type of the file What is strange that other files open normally (also without the extension). I can provide 2 similar files both affected and unaffected. The discussion about this was here: http://forum.kde.org/kwrite-doesnt-open-plain-text-files-without-an-extension-t-56727.html#pid77004 hope it might help :)
Created attachment 33981 [details] affected and unaffected files one file can be open in KWrite and the other doesn't - both have no extension
ok, I've just added an attachment
This was fixed recently on KDE4.3 code. Bug 188355. Thanks *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 188355 ***
