Version: 3.3.1 (using KDE 3.3.1, (3.1)) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-2) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.8.1-kanotix-5 I have a problem with opening files from my webmail sometimes. Even though Konqueror knows the filetype (e.g. DOC) it doesn`t seem to remember this. I am asked if I want to save or if I want to "open with". It is quite enoying to choose the program every time I want this. The problem seems to have to parts: 1. Konqueror doesn't seem to remember all known files types in every situation. I this case I have the feeling it has something to do with the [ application/octet-stream ] which is transmitted. Sometimes it is [application/msword ]. Then it works. 2. But apart from this. The behavior of the dialog is not the best. Windows asks also has an option to klick on, which add the choice I made to the list of known filetypes. So I don't have to do this again. I am missing this option.

The problem is that we trust what the webserver tells us the mimetype is. I think the solution should be to treat "application/octet-stream" as unknown, and then use pattern-matching instead.
I have to ad, that a simular problem occurs, when I want to integrate a ics-kalender file from projekt24.info. Instead of opening the korganizer, the files is opened and displayed as a text file. The bindings to ICS-files are set correctly to open in Korganiser with priority before text. Unfortuneatly I cannot tell you what file type is transmitted by the webserver. It would try to look it up, if someone is able to tell me where/ how to check this.
Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.
Can't reproduce in KDE Frameworks 5.45.
