Description FACORAT Fabrice 2004-01-13 14:22:53 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:          Linux

When using nsplugins, it always override user preferences at each scan.
For example with acrobat reader plugin.

you select kpdf and use the standard kde icon for pdf.
Now install acrobat reader, scan for the plugin.
You may end up with 2 behaviour :

- on the net, when you open a pdf file, it will open acrobat reader. Normally this doesn't happen

- when browsing your local file, all pdf file use netscape icon whereas we should have the icon we select.

If the user select an icon, the plugin should not be able to override it ( the same for the description )

Hm seems to me that the only solution is to write individual files for the different mimetypes and track them.  Right now we only write one and it gets initialpreference=0.

Seems to me that this issue is fixed.
At least the icon issue is no longer present.
So marking as FIXED

I think it's still a bug, and you're just not seeing it by chance.

Dear user,

KHTML (and KJS and all related Java/plugin infrastructure) was a long time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6.

Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component.

We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these components beside important security fixes.

For security issues, please see:

https://kde.org/info/security/

Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
