file associations in konqueror

[daniel.barna at cern.ch]

First of all: sorry for top-posting this. I receive a daily digest, so I 
can not directly answer to a single mail, so my answer will be out of the 
original thread. Can anybody tell me how to do this?

I did exactly this. So now konqueror remembers that I want to open it with 
an 'other' program, and every time I click on such files, it pops up the 
'Open with' dialog, where I need to type in the path of the executable. 
Annoying.

I still don't understand, why files accessed through webdavs:/ have these 
problems, other files do not! If I mount this server directory by wdfs as 
a local directory, then everything works nice, clicking on the file is 
correctly handled by the application/vnd.hp-hpgl association, and the 
program is started.
