If I understand you correctly, you would then have to still explicitly choose 
Quanta with the "Open with..." action everytime you want to edit a HTML 
document. This would make it more consistent with the other KDE apps and it 
would improve the situation, but IMHO it's still not perfect. 

I think in Cervisia 90% of the times the user wants to _edit_ the file. The 
above solution would help but still make the task tedious. That's why Bernd 
wanted an edit and not an open action.
