            Bug ID: 365224
           Summary: KDE Neon 5.7 User Edition won't let me set the default
                    application for file types
           Product: neon
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: stable packaging
          Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org
          Reporter: caip...@fastmail.fm
                CC: j...@jriddell.org, neon-b...@kde.org, sit...@kde.org

It's not possible to change the default application for text files (and perhaps
other formats). Changes aren't applied likely because it doesn't request me to
type the root password. Changing the application by launching the system
settings with root worked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the File Associations window from the system settings or the "open
with..." context menu
2. Try to change the default application for simple text files to another
program
3. Apply changes and double-click a text file

Actual Results:  
The file type is still associated with the previous program. If you open the
settings again, your customized entry is gone.


I believe that it was supposed to ask for root privileges to apply the changes
correctly, because setting a default application by opening the system settings
as root worked.
