That is a usable report! What you are proposing is treating the symptom and not the cause. KDE should be able to edit the whole mimetype group, instead of having you fiddle around with the mimetypes itself.
Report needs to be forwarded to http://bugs.kde.org ** Summary changed: - some file associations cannot configured/removed, prevents grouping of file association patterns + Can't set default application for mimetype group ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: kdebase-kde4 - - issue: some known file types (*.wmv) cannot be removed. this prevents - these from being grouped with other known types (*.avi, *.mpg, and *.wmv - thus cannot be changed together, since *.wmv cannot be removed and it's - configuration overrides the config added to other association types) - - steps to reproduce: in KDE4 systemssettings, advanced tab, click file - associations. under the known file types, click "video" then "x-ms-wmv". - the remove icon is grayed out. click the one above this "x-ms-wv" and - now the remove icon is visible and this file association can be removed. - - solution: all file association types should be removable/configurable. - if they cannot be (for some technical reason i don't know about), an - explanation should be given somewhere where it is visible in the - configuration region. + Changing the default video/music player currently involves editing all + mimetypes manually. KDE should be able to edit whole mimetype groups (at + least for those where it makes sense, which are most importantly video + and audio) ** Changed in: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist Status: Won't Fix => Triaged ** Also affects: kdebase Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Can't set default application for mimetype group https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256207 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
