Bug Description

Though not critical, this application seems to have linked to the trash can widget in KDE 4.13.3 Kubuntu 14.04.2LTS. In that soundkonverter is opened when you attempt to open the trash folder from the trash can widget. Does not matter if you attempt to open the trash folder via the right click menu or just click on the widget itself. It opens soundkonverter instead of dolphin. When soundkonverter is opened via this it comes up with the error - Some files can't be decoded. Possible solutions listed below. Then it goes on to list the solutions. My question is, is this an issue with soundkonverter or with the widget itself?

I don't think it's soundkonverter's fault and I can't reproduce it with kdebase4-workspace 4.11.17.
I can't come up with any idea why soundkonverter could be causing this.
My absolutely wild guess would be that you added soundkonverter to list of applications that can open folders (inode/directory mime type) and the trash applet chooses it to open the trash folder.

I just got finished going through my file associations via system settings and found exactly where it was causing issues. Your wild guess was spot on correct. I found multiple places where soundkonverter was listed in the "inode" section and it wasn't just directory for mime type. I've cleared all references to soundkonverter in the "inode" section of file association and this bug/issue can now be labeled as fixed. Though I still don't understand how soundkonverter when installed placed all the file associations under "inode" branch of the file associations, this bug is fixed otherwise.
