I can confirm this bug - I've done a bit more testing though and have the following results:
Firstly, I can only replicate this on iceweasel/firefox + KDE (or at least, if there are kde mimetype handling packages installed) - it does not happen on a clean gnome install. Therefore the bug is likely with IW's handling of mimetypes defined in/by KDE (which seems to be particularly complex, with multiple definitions in multiple locations) It is not just pdf file/mimetypes that are forgotten, I can confirm on all common document formats, (with openoffice.org installed): OpenDocument: odt, ods, odp MSOffice: doc, xls, ppt, docx, xlsx, pptx OpenOffice: sxc, sxw, sxd There are some sample files at: http://silenceisdefeat.org/~ajd4096/ex2/ To replicate, click on a filetype (.xls in my experience is the quickest to show the issue), it should get the correct mimetype, and indicate a default application as per: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/clearyss/xls1.png Choose [ok] so that openoffice starts, then close openoffice Repeat the above (on the same filetype) until the mimetype is "forgotten" in the open/save dialog as per: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/clearyss/xls2.png I find that sometimes all mimetypes are forgotten, sometimes only a selection are forgotten. -------------------------------------------- Other environments/testing info: Confirmed: Debian sid + kde 3.5.9 + iceweasel 2.0.0.14 Confirmed: Debian sid + kde 3.5.9 + fluxbox (running fluxbox as the WM) + iceweasel 2.0.0.14 Confirmed: Debian sid + kde 3.5.9 + Firefox 2.0.0.14 binary from mozilla.org Confirmed: Ubuntu Hardy + kde 3.5.9 + Firefox 2.0.0.6 (from gutsy repo) Cannot Replicate: clean Debian sid + Gnome 2.20.2.2 + iceweasel 2.0.0.14 Cannot Replicate: Windows XP + firefox 2.0.0.14 Cannot Replicate: Mac OS X v10.5 + firefox 2.0.0.14 --------------------------------------------- Other notes: it is budget time here, a lot of users are receiving a lot of attachments, it's causing quite a bit of disruption. If more information is required, I am at your immediate disposal ;) I would also be interested to know if there are other paths to resolution that you would recommend I take in parallel to this one. ---------------- Regards, Bernard Gray -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
