"Open With" no longer guesses appropriate app
One of the many reasons I love KDE is because, when I "open with" a link
in a web page using the context menu, it looks at the URL extension (if
there is one) and offers me the choice of apps to handle that filetype.
Or it used to. KD2.2 did, KDE 3.0 did, KDE 3.1 did. Very handy to
view a file from a website where KDE doesn't have an ioslave for it -
just right click, Open With, and select my favourite configured app.
But KDE3.2 doesn't and KD3.3 doesn't - in the link context menu they
always offer HTML editors whenever the current page is HTML. This is
annoying, does it happen for everyone ?
Konqueror as file manager gets it right, because it can go look inside
the file before opening it. Clicking directly on the link works too,
presumably because it gets the MIME type from the remote site. But I
want to be offered the best-guess at the application in all cases ! :)
Does anyone have this working (reasonable application being offered in
the link context menu on khtml web pages) ?
