Subject: Bug#2427: KFM & MIME types

Package: KFM (file manager)
Version: the version supplied with RedHat Linux 6.1
(sorry - don't have KDE here to check).
I find it very hard to figure out how to associate an application with
a file type. Indeed, even after reading the manual for KFM I can't work
it out. The manual is just confusing (eg: where it talks about loading
in a new application and talks about seeing what ones are available by
pressing the "right mouse button" - where?! In KFM? In the desktop?).
That aside - it's too hard. I want KFM to do the same as Windows Explorer -
when displaying the browse dialogue after clicking on a file type I
want to see a checkbox saying "always open this type with this application?".
I don't want to understand MIME. I don't want to understand how to get KFM
to recognise applications. I don't want to understand .kdelnk files.
I just want the Winblows way of doing it (quick and simple).
thanks,
c.
