Public bug reported: When an application is installed which uses the standard tools (xdg-mime install and xdg-desktop-menu install) to register shortcuts and mime types, Kubuntu's default types are sometimes changed. Neither of these commands should set the default association for a mime type unless it was previously unset. However, Kubuntu will change currently-set mime types when an application registers that it can handle them.
Thanks for looking into this. ✈demios:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 ✈demios:~$ ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/819982 Title: [Kubuntu] File associations should not be changed when application registers mime types To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/819982/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
