2008-09-23 14:38:03 Harald Sitter kdebase: statusexplanation A system expects certain mimetypes to be available (most importantly those defined by the freedesktop project). "Grouping" them would actually brake your system. That said, I am in QA for years now, but you are the very first person who even thought about grouping. Is there any reason why you would want to do this?
2008-09-30 11:05:03 Harald Sitter description Binary package hint: kdebase-kde4 issue: some known file types (*.wmv) cannot be removed. this prevents these from being grouped with other known types (*.avi, *.mpg, and *.wmv thus cannot be changed together, since *.wmv cannot be removed and it's configuration overrides the config added to other association types) steps to reproduce: in KDE4 systemssettings, advanced tab, click file associations. under the known file types, click "video" then "x-ms-wmv". the remove icon is grayed out. click the one above this "x-ms-wv" and now the remove icon is visible and this file association can be removed. solution: all file association types should be removable/configurable. if they cannot be (for some technical reason i don't know about), an explanation should be given somewhere where it is visible in the configuration region. Changing the default video/music player currently involves editing all mimetypes manually. KDE should be able to edit whole mimetype groups (at least for those where it makes sense, which are most importantly video and audio)

"Grouping" them would actually brake your system. That said, I am in QA for years now, but you are the very first person who even thought about grouping. Is there any reason why you would want to do this? That is a usable report! What you are proposing is treating the symptom and not the cause. KDE should be able to edit the whole mimetype group, instead of having you fiddle around with the mimetypes itself. Report needs to be forwarded to http://bugs.kde.org
