Bug ID: 358139
Summary: "Open with" dialog's input field should also search in
"Known Applications" tree
Product: dolphin
Version: 15.08.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: codestr...@posteo.org
CURRENT SITUATION:
1. Right click on a audio file -> "Open with..." and see that "mpv Media
Player" is installed.
2. Would like to make this the default application.
3. Choose "Other..." from the menu.
4. The "Open with" dialog opens.
5. Enter "mpv" in the text input field.
=> "mpv" is shown as valid suggestion. The user might think that this is the
correct choice but it is not:
If you search the tree view _by hand_ and click "mpv Media Player" then the
correct command is put to the text input field ("mpv --profile=pseudo-gui --
%U").

SUGGESTION:
Typing text into the input field also searches the tree view below and
highlights matches (and hides non-matching tree items). This does not mitigate
all possible problems of this dialog but would be a step towards better
usability.
