Version: (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs I start systemsettings/Configure file associations and select text/plain It holds some filename patterns *,v *.asc *.doc *.txt from which I want to remove *.doc I remove it, click apply. When I now close systemsettings and reopen file associations, the *.doc is again in the list of patterns. Why can't I remove this pattern ?
Because I had to pull some strings upstream to get this supported ;-) It's finally supported in shared-mime-info CVS, but there hasn't been a release of shared-mime-info with this feature (called <glob-deleteall>). I have another thing to implement in shared-mime-info today, then I'll push for a release to happen. In any case, the code in KDE is ready for this already.
