Created attachment 125778 [details] "Open With" dialog of a .txt file. Kate should be listed here. SUMMARY On macOS, Kate does not declare which file types it supports. The result is that it does not appear in the "Open with" menu (see attachment) of files that it supports, so it needs to be manually selected from the Applications folder, which of course is a lot more cumbersome and time-consuming. According to this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19693311/associating-a-file-extension-with-my-application file types can be declared in `info.plist` STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Choose a file Kate supports, ideally a simple plaintext file 2. Right click -> open with 3. Kate isn't in the list OBSERVED RESULT Kate is not listed as an option to open a file with EXPECTED RESULT Kate should be listed SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS macOS: 10.14.6 Kate: 19.12.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I used the compiled version that can be downloaded from kate-editor.org
