For example, an OPF file (which is part of many digital books) is an XML file, but is often encoded as text/plain. I want to open it with kxmleditor (always), so I right click, "open with", and choose ~"always do this" so that any time I click on an OPF again it opens in kxmleditor. This is fine, but now all of a sudden ALL text/plain files open in kxmleditor (even foo.txt, etc). This is clearly wrong, and counterintuitive. Even if the mime type *is* correct, there are different kinds of XML (for example) that I might want to open in different applications. I think the strategy should be that "open with" looks to see if it has a mapping for the file type *first*, and then only secondly at the mime type. Additionally, when you click "always do this", there should be a dialog that says: Which of the following should always be opened with _kxmleditor_: [ ] all text files [X] all .opf files [Save] [Cancel] Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/139346/comments/1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2008-11-27T13:57:03+00:00 David Faure wrote: Yes, we should dynamically create a mimetype if the current extension isn't known.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish. If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue. We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.
