Bug Description
Steps to reproduce
- Check a file association. For example 'pdf'.
kcmshell5 filetypes
Application Preference Order is:
1. Okular
2. Karbon
3. ImageMagick (display Q16)
4. ImageMagick (display Q16)
- Use Firefox to download a pdf file. Firefox preferences for PDF are set to 'always ask'.
- Open the Firefox library at Downloads (down arrow -> Show All Downloads) and double click the downloaded PDF file.
- Chances are it will open using Karbon instead of the expected Okular
Likewise, clicking the folder icon next to the downloaded file will not use Dolphin, but Gwenview and .zip files will not be opened with Ark, but with Gwenview, or something else.
