Bug ID: 357471
Summary: Dolphin opens .desktop files in Kate
Product: dolphin
Version: 15.08.2
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: peterro...@gmail.com
I first noticed this when in the remote:/ folder and clicked on the 'add
network folder' icon - this opened as a file in Kate rather than opening the
Add Network Folder wizard. In searching for a solution I found this
http://askubuntu.com/questions/694809/add-network-folder-in-dolphin-opens-libreoffice
I have since noticed that any .desktop file does this rather than open the
program it is for (Abiword or Xine for example)
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to a folder in Dolphin
2. Left click on any desktop application file
3.
Actual Results:
Kate opens with the content of the .desktop file
Expected Results:
the program specified in the file under Exec= ..... should open rather than
Kate
I have compared the settings in Dolphin and in File Associations for the
application group and application/x-desktop and can see no difference between
my Kubuntu 15.10 and a Mint17 system that works as expected.
On both my Kubuntu and Mint set up Kate is the first option available to open
desktop files from a right click
