From kde-core-devel Wed Nov 03 21:06:31 1999 From: David Faure Date: Wed, 03 Nov 1999 21:06:31 +0000 To: kde-core-devel Subject: Re: KServiceTypeProfile broken? X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-core-devel&m=94166320413574 I just realized something... The DefaultApp field for a mimetype was removed in order to prevent overriding the user's preferences when upgrading KDE. But I thought _services_ would hold a preference (as a number) so that when installing acroread AND kghostview, kghostview becomes default (and so that when installing only one, that one's used). This is not the case. The preference number is in the user's profile. This is what confused you, and now confuses me as well. I agree, this doesn't make sense. The user's profile should simply say "my preferred service for X is Y". If this makes sense, kuserprofile should be changed to read the preferences from the _services_ files and read from the profile only the preferred app. But obviously Torben had another way of seeing this... -- David FAURE david@mandrakesoft.com, faure@kde.org http://home.clara.net/faure/ KDE, Making The Future of Computing Available Today
