Bug ID: 511741
Summary: File associations: chemical/x-gaussian-log files must
not list *.log and *.out (or with lower priority than
text/*)
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: FreeBSD Ports
OS: FreeBSD
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The default "file type" for *.log files is and will always be: (general,
unspecified) log file. In most cases, these are text files, thus the correct
file association is "text/x-log". The extension *.out is e.g. by default used
by the compiler (the famous "a.out" file), and is generally used to store any
(thus unspecified) kind of output into a file. These two extensions should be
general and not be specific.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable "open in embedded viewer" for text files, e.g. in konqueror.
2. Open a folder that contains *.log files in konqueror
3. Klick on a *.log file
OBSERVED RESULT
The file is opened with kate (default for "chemical/x-gaussian-log")
EXPECTED RESULT
The file should be opened in the embedded text viewer
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
FreeBSD: 14.3-RELEASE-p5
Windows:
macOS:
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0
Qt Version: 6.9.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The real error is that the one who did this does not use a clean environment to
produce distribution files. One can change the association of *.log files in
one's private environment, but these changes must never change the sane
defaults for files that go into a software distribution.
