Do you know where in the code the priority is set?
The if have
dolphin, use
dolphin for desktop items, else use konqueror for desktop items? I
would like to
patch that for archlinux builds. That way I could still provide
dolphin, but
have the desktop items open in konqueror.
As a test, I just removed dolphin from the system and the
desktop item do open
in konqueror now. That is the way I want it by default. I've
grepped tdelibs and
tdebase for dolphin, but turned up nothing but the dolphine
machine hardware in
the admin dirs.
I don't know the logic of the underlying code, but look in the
installed d3lphin.desktop file. You'll find two keys: MimeType and
InitialPreference. Experiment with commenting out one or both and
see how that affects your usage. You might need to restart Trinity
or delete your tdesycoca cache files. Probably the best experiment
is with a temporary fresh profile. That way no profilerc changes
will affect anything.
I don't believe a distro-specific patch should be necessary. We
should patch the behavior for everybody. Dolphin should not
override anything until the user explicity starts doing so in the
file association configurations.
Which reminds me of a discussion we had a long time ago: which apps
should be the defaults for opening different types of files. We
never concluded that discussion or decided anything.
