Bug ID: 507880
Summary: Middle-click to open with secondary associated
application on the desktop
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.4.3
Reported In:
Platform: CachyOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Desktop icons & Folder View widget
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I'd really love the ability to open files with the second application
associated to them on the desktop, as it's a really useful and convenient
feature on Dolphin, and it feels like that feature should exist on the desktop
as well, for consistency's sake.
e.g., I have my primary app to open images set to Gwenview, with the secondary
being GIMP. That makes it really easy to quickly edit an image, even if it
isn't the main thing I do with images. I'd really love to have the same ability
on desktop.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Change a file type's associated app with at least 2 associations
2. Middle-click it on Dolphin. It should open the second association
3. Middle-click it on the desktop. It doesn't do anything
OBSERVED RESULT
The secondary app is not launched. Nothing happens.
EXPECTED RESULT
The secondary app to be launched, consistent with Dolphin's logic.
