           Summary: enhanced mime association filter
           Product: kdepimlibs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kmime
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: AlfonsName at web.de


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.10)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I'm using kde for both surfing in the internet and creating websites.

I therefore have different preferences regarding with which application to open
a file with a specific mime type depending on its access method: using my sftp
accouting I prefer Quanta and using http I prefer konqueror's khtml.
The same idea also goes with the location: the readme.html of an application is
preferably opened using a browser, html source files of my webproject are
preferably open using an editor. The only distinguishing feature here is
the location (folder) I placed the files.

This leads to the following proposal:
It should be possible to override the association of an application to a mime
type depending on the location of the file or the method used to access the
file.
I image defineing the association like filters: If no association for
mime+method exists, it falls back to either mime or method association e.g.
depending on a priority definition.
