Description Christopher Heiny 2009-12-01 17:01:07 UTC
Description of problem:  Cannot change the application associated with various mime types.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): System settings 1.0; KDE 4.3.3


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open System Settings -> Advanced -> File Associations
2. Select a MIME type (f'rinstance, audio -> m3u)
3. Default application is SMplayer (nice tool, but I want Amarok for this)
4. Select Amarok, click Move Up a few times to move it to the top
5. Click Apply
  
Actual results: Amarok bounces back down to its original position, SMplayer remains the default


Expected results: Amarok will be the default application for m3u


Additional info: Applies to all type I've tried, not just m3u.  I've tried it as both a regular user and as root, with the same behavior.

Thanks for reporting this issue.  This is an issue that needs to be addressed by the upstream developers.
Please check http://bugs.kde.org to see if a report already exists and if not open one.  Then add the
upstream report information to this report.  

Thank you

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 04:44:41 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 4 Christopher Heiny 2010-11-04 04:50:31 UTC
This can probably be safely closed, since the upstream bug was resolved in KDE 4.4.2.
