Description Andras Georgy Bekes 2009-10-13 10:27:45 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Whenever I click on a http://... link in KMail, the link is always opened in kwrite.
I think it should be opened in konqueror or in some "default browser".

The problem is present since I upgraded from KDE 3.
Before the upgrade I deleted my .kde directory and did not (yet) change file associations at all.
Comment 1 Christophe Marin 2009-10-13 11:51:06 UTC
Please check:

- systemsettings/File Associations
- type 'html' in the search field and click on 'text/html' and 'xhtml+xml'

What is the first listed application for both the 'General' and 'Embedding' tabs ?
Comment 2 Andras Georgy Bekes 2009-10-13 13:14:46 UTC
Type associations for "General":
text/html: Kwrite first, then konqueror, etc. Kwrite shows up two more times in the list!
text/htmlh: Kwrite is the first, second and third in the list!
application/xhtml+xml: Kwrite is not the first, but shows up 3 times in the list...
application/pdf: Kwrite is the first (and no more Kwrites...)
application/x-php: Kwrite, Kwrite, Kwrite...
application/atom+xml: Kwrite first, then others, Kwrite two more times..
image/x-eps: Kwrite is not the first, but shows up 3 times in the list...

The settings for "Embedded" seem normal.

These are just examples... Kwrite has infested my associations 3 times...

Where are these settings stored? Is it under the .kde directory?

Does the same happen for you with links you click in konqueror?

I've solved the problem by removing the extra kwrite entries from all the file 
associations. I can't remember if it happened in konqueror as well, but again: 
the root cause was the infection of file associations by kwrite.

So the problem is basically solved, the question is how my file associations 
get into that bogus state.

Reassigning to kdelibs as this is clearly not the fault of kmail

As the ticket mentions, this happened when I upgraded from KDE 3 to 4.
Even if the bug still exists, I doubt it is worth spending any time with it.
Comment 9 Justin Zobel 2022-12-13 02:54:14 UTC
Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it was reported on an older version, can we please ask you to see if you cazn reproduce the issue with a more recent software version?  
  
If you can confirm this issue still exists in a recent version, please change the version field and the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!
