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.
