           Summary: Open With dialog missing some options
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: MathStuf gmail com


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

The open with dialog in KDE does not offer much flexibility. It asks to either save, open with a known program or cancel. The user cannot choose a different app to open with or to tell the application to not bother with the file. It most commonly happens with Konqueror with SWF objects (no flash plugin) which asks me to save, open with VLC (I'd rather Kaffeine if I would open it, but I can't choose that if I'd like), or cancel. If I mark "don't ask me again", I can't confirm the dialog to actually not show it again without doing something (save or open) since choosing cancel ignores the checkbox.
