Standard App?
How about default app?
In any event, a huge swath of that database is missing! I'd estimate 95%
of the entries have no defined alias to hand the data off to.
And I have not nuked it.
So what file would I "reinstall" in order to restore the so-called
defaults for all that stuff?
Thanks for the hint!
Greetings list;
iceweasel seems to have gone to the dogs with all the libssl updates
as they try to sort the latest exploit.
So I am driven to konqueror, which usually works, but when clicking
on a link to follow in kmail, kmail seems to be passing konqueror a
link to the display buffer in /var/tmp, as opposed to just passing
the text link I clicked on.
It does work ok if I slide the mouse highlight the link, switch to
the konqueror screen, and middle click paste it into the address bar
of konqueror.
Am I the only one with this problem? Lisi seems to think so.
Also, and it took a while to find this, the TDE default applications
menu, and the default applications database konqueror uses, seems to
be two separate databases, which was very confusing because I could
be looking at konqueror, clicking on a sublink to try and locate a
download or docs directory on some external site, and konqueror was
passing it to iceweasel! Perhaps this explains why trying to change
the "default" application in KDE, and not having it take effect
until a root session, editing something in /etc/kde was also done.
That was a PITA.
Maybe a bug/feature request is in order?
Hi Gene,
there are two parts here.
The default application in TDE Control Center is to set what you would
use as HTML reader. This means you can get off konqueror (default) and
use something else (firefox, chrom, etc)
The other one is the file association (mime).
Here you have also two parts - one is in konqueror (TDE) and the other
is firefox/iceweasel.
I had the reverse of the problem recently, when I was trying to open a
link or a file (mainly from skype) it was using firefox instead
konqueror.
When I had to install chrome for testing purposes I had to rearrange
the alternatives (took me some time to read the docs and set it
properly).
I'm not sue where exactly you should check, but could be a good idea
to go through that.
When you go to the Control Center -> Components -> Standard App you have the option (web browser) to select opening of
http/https with
different programs depending on the content and format.
Is this selected for you or the other option below where it says which
external app you want to use?
regards
