STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. I have a program /opt/CardFile/Cardfile with a menu entry in the Office
section of the menu. The files it uses are text files so this could probably
be mocked up with a copy of kate or any other text editor. The program has
written a file with suffix .krd on the desktop
2. Using system settings create an entry appication/Cardfile for the krd suffix
3. Click the .krd file to open
OBSERVED RESULT
Initially the association works. Randomly, however it fails. A right click on
the desktop file will then allow the entry to be remade with Open with...
option and ticking the box to associate the file type but again it does not
persist. In extremis I've even found that the association does not even
persist long enough to allow the file to be reopened immediately after closure.
There appears to be no rationale as to what triggers this.
EXPECTED RESULT
Clicking the file should open it every time.
