missing right-arrow

(I have dolphin 25.08.0, qt6 6.8.2, plasma 6.4.4)

SUMMARY

I have qmmp as my media player, and while I have "Qmmp" and "Enqueue in Qmmp" as "Application Preference Order" for mp3's in SystemSettings->Default Applications->File Associations, right-clicking on mp3 in dolphin shows only "Open with Qmmp" and "Open with..." (the latter option has no right-arrow, so no way to choose "Enqueue with Qmmp". REVERSING the order of these 2 file associations, however, does show both options in the right-click menu (ie Enqueue with Qmmp, and if you click on the right-arrow at "Open with..." then "Open with Qmmp" appears).


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Qmmp
2. Go to "System Settings" -> "Default Applications" -> "File Associations" -> "mp3" (or "audio/mpeg") -> make sure "Application Preference Order" is "Qmmp" & "Enqueue in Qmmp"
3. Right-click on an mp3 file in dolphin

OBSERVED RESULT

"Open with..." has no "right-arrow" to be able to display the "Enqueue with Qmmp" option

EXPECTED RESULT

"Open with..." should have a right-arrow at its right-hand side

I see that this exactly is the case with KDE Neon-user (distro) too

I can reproduce part of this with Plasma 6.4.4 and Neon Testing, using SMPlayer and Qmmp

App Preference Order for mpeg (Either with SMPlayer or Qmmp)
SMPlayer
Enqueue in SMplayer
others...

The results are the same with both 6.4.4 and Neon Testing:

Right clicking an mp3 shows Open with SMPlayer but not Enqueue
I *do* see the arrow next to "Open With" under SMPlayer in that menu, but Enqueue isn't shown there either. That part is probably fixed in the newer version of Qt

Test systems:
Operating System: Solus 4.7
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
Comment 4 Alexander Karelas 2025-08-29 09:13:07 UTC
I didn't use to have this problem (I think with Plasma 6.3.3)
