--- Comment #4 from Evert Vorster <evors...@protonmail.com> ---
This issue is becoming more frequent, and it looks like file associations are
forgotten/changed whenever anything updates the file association table. 

I have never seen behavior like this in KDE, and it may very well be down to
something I am doing different. 

Normally file associations have an asterisk in the definition, like *.txt so
that it would match any file that ends with ".txt"
In my case, there is no asterisk, as I want to match the entire file name
exactly. 

In my case, if there is a file called "dosbox-x.conf" in a directory, when I
click on that file I want the default action to be to run dosbox-x in the
directory where the file is residing, and in the context menu I want to have
Kate, so that I can edit this text file. 

When I just add an asterisk in front of "dosbox-x.conf" this strange behavior
goes away.
