Where are File Associations kept?

[g]

anne,

i am using kde 3.5.4 and in '~/.kde/share/config/kcontrolrc' are
lines;

[Open-with settings]
CompletionMode=5
History=Kwrite,Khexedit

file '~/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc' shows

[Open-with settings]
CompletionMode=5
History=khexedit,kwrite %U

i have logged in and out several times from when i made change
and files are still same.

had you had file and it contained 'kuickshow', it would have
been interesting to see what would happen if it where removed.

i know it says 'history', but still interesting.

i did 'find / -newer' and there where over 11,000 lines of files
that had changed; /dev, /tmp, /proc, /var, /sys. it is possible
that what i changed was being held in /proc, waiting for me to close
kde before updating where ever it is held.

so, open up control center > file association and look at *all*.
if it has 'kuickshow' in either position, remove it. see what happens.

an easy recovery would be to set up a new user, check file association
for new user by clicking a text file while in konq. if ok, copy old
configs for web browser, email, etc, and desktop directory to new user.

change home directory names, then reconfig desktop is all that is
left. saves a lot of headache.

after, tell *3.5 user* to not use 'all' in file association again. or
what ever they did.

hth.
