Bug ID: 392048
Summary: Use binfmt_misc for opening non native applications
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: fa...@kde.org
Reporter: vavo...@gmail.com
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Currently Dolphin and Krusader don't respect binfmt_misc and always use file
associations for non native executables even with executable flag set.
In most cases it is ok to run such executable with associated application but
there can be a problem sometimes, for example when both Wine and Mono
executables are used. Since both types use 'exe' as extension they can't be
distinguished and primary associated application is always used to run both
types.
Using 'binfmt_misc' would help in this case since it doesn't rely on extension
but also can check file content in order to determine if an executed file is a
kind of non native application.
