Version: unknown (using 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2) "release 244", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.2) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.31.12-0.2-default How to reproduce the bug: 1.) Log in to a remote server via sftp://user@server in dolphin 2.) Create a simple text file with name test.dat on that server 3.) Try to open it via left click you get the "open with" dialog Doing step 3) when fish is used instead of sftp the file is opened with your standard editor.
I can reproduce the reported problem using KDE SC 4.8 RC1. The key point is the extension of the filename. "test.dat" will cause the problem, while "test.txt" won't .
Please test with the lastest KDE release an reopen if the issue still exists.
