            Bug ID: 436094
           Summary: Being able to set set a different program to open
                    specific files that have an extension that normally
                    gets opened by another default program
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Other
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: toadfield at tutanota.com
  Target Milestone: ---

What I mean is,for example I have the 3 files called "x.png","y.png" and
"z.png" and I have set that the default png viewer is something like
showfoto,but I want that only "z.png" gets opened by gwenview by default.
I know I can just click on "open with",but with this feature it would safe some
time,cause I don't have to click on "open with" every time I want to open the
specific file.
So I want to be able to set a program that opens those specific files by
default.
It would also be handy If I can select that all files in a specific folder use
a different default application than the systems default,so for example if the
default image viewer of the system viewer is showfoto,but i want that all png
files in folder "example name" get opened with gwenview.
Btw this feature would have an actual usecase for me,cause many windows
programs don't work with the newest wine version and with that feature I could
just set different default wine version for a .exe that doesn't work with the
newest wine version.
I know there are wine managers,but I want to do everything in a file manager.
And this feature would also be handy if that happens for another program,so
that some files only work with an older version.
It would just save much time.
