kde4 systemsettings file associations cannot be changed

[andy]

Binary package hint: systemsettings-kde4

hello,

it is not possible to change the file association in the kde system settings. how to reproduce:
1. start the kde systemsettings with "sudo systemsettings"
2. select file associations on the second tab (Extended?)
3. select the pdf file association:
   per default i have the following associations:
   1: Gimp Image Editor (which starts with gimp-2.6 %U)
   2. Okular (which starts with okular %U %i -caption "%c")

4. i tried to change the command for okular to "okular %U" but it does not work.
   a dialog is shown that the system settings will be updated, but that does not work.

for some reason i can see the okular entry twice after i tried to change the command !!
both entries still have the command (okular %U %i -caption "%c").
btw. why is gimp the default file association for pdf files, even though okular is installed !

see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184716
seems to be fixed now. i will retest it once kubuntu has released kde 4.2.1 packages.

I'm linking the bugs now. Thanks for reporting this to KDE. Setting to Fix Committed since KDE has committed a fix for KDE 4.2.1.
The bug can be closed as Fix Released once we get 4.2.1 packages, as you said.
