Description Harald Brunner 2016-05-10 19:42:12 UTC
Since the last upgrade (about version: 5.2.0) when clicking links in the feed item contents view, it no longer shows the dialog with the options "Open with <default app>", "Open with...", "Save As...", etc. at least when it comes to video links. It now opens those in a new tab, subsequently freezing the application for a while because it fails to play them properly.

In the recent version there also was a check box on that dialog to set the action as default, i never did that though and did not find any settings for mime types in Akregator's settings either. This is an inconvenience given that i now have to manually copy the link and open it using the OS.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have link to e.g. video/mpeg
2. Click it

Actual Results:  
Opens new tab trying to play video there

Expected Results:  
Ask for action (open, save, etc.)
