That indeed brings the behaviour close enough to how it was before that I would consider it a fix for this bug. Since the remaining patch still changes the MIME type decision logic the behaviour is still somewhat different though. However, it becomes difficult for me to tell how different because remembering the exact details of the previous (5.15.2+dfsg-5) behaviour is not easy as it never quite worked consistently either. For example now with the glob pattern "*.*" added to "all/allfiles" a C source code file "test.c" in Dolphin's list view is listed as being of type "all files" and also all operations defined for "all/allfiles" are listed in the context menu, but after selecting "Properties" in Dolphin's context menu its "Contents" field shows "C source code" (presumably because Dolphin uses magic-based fingerprinting). All this despite the file /usr/share/mime/text/x-csrc.xml defining the MIME type "text/x-csrc" with the glob pattern "*.c". I think it has to do with how user-defined MIME type definitions from ~/.local/share/mime are merged into the set of system-defined ones. Since KDE System Settings does not allow you to specify a weight value for your glob patterns (and most under /usr/share/mime/* don't specify it either) the merging does not actually always yield sensible results as almost all glob patterns end up having the default weight of 50. And it also leads to behaviour that is difficult to reproduce across setups. I just wished the KDE devs would actually try a little harder to make all this MIME type handling more consistent (and easier to investigate) and to make the MIME types "all/all" and "all/allfiles" behave as you would expect. But I guess that belongs in a separate bug report. Regards, Dennis.
