I'm testing the Neon 5 ISO released on Fri, 29 Aug 2014. In it, when you insert a USB stick the Device Notifier pops up from the System Tray and displays a link to 'Open in File Manager' correctly. If you click on that link it opens Konqueror not Dolphin as expected, Dolphin is identified in the K Menu as 'File Manager' - you'd expect that would be the program that's opened whilst Konqueror is filed in the K Menu under internet and labelled as 'Web browser'. You'd expect whether you're launching the File Manager from the Device Notifier or the K Menu they would launch the same program Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 3.
Can you confirm what the default is set to in: system settings -> applications -> default applications -> file manager make sure to run the Plasma5 system settings.
The Default for the File Manager is set to Konqueror but if you set it to Dolphin instead & click Apply the new choice of Dolphin isn't remembered. If you go back into System Settings again the selection has changed from Dolphin back to Konqueror again and the Device Notifier seems never to use anything other than Konqueror.
OK thanks. So it's the default application remembering that's going wrong rather than anything in the shell. It seems to be going wrong here too, I just am "lucky" enough to get a better default. Confirmed. Note to other devs: I'm not sure which product/component this falls into, please move if you have any ideas.
I did some investigation, the choice is properly saved, but when that kcm is opened, it does this to select the app: if (first) { button->setChecked(true); first = false; } either this assumes that KService will return the previously selected app as a first entry or was a porting bug. Furthermore, the applet's dataengine (hotplug) is using "kioclient5 exec %f" for "Open with file manager". Running strace on kioclient5 shows that it does not at all accesses the config file created by the kcm. So either kioclient5 should read that config or that kcm should be saving it elsewhere.
For me, things are working perfectly if I manually run update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications after changing Can you check if the same applies for you?
also, what's in system settings -> applications -> File Associations -> inode -> directory ?
Please respond to the last two questions
