            Bug ID: 487838
           Summary: Dolphin "remember application association" not working
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 24.05.0
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: mysteryx93 at protonmail.com

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
In Dolphin, when you right-click, Open With, select an app and "Remember
application association", it's not always working as expected. For certain file
types, this setting gets ignored. I was having success setting app for certain
file types like video files, whereas for other types, like .sln files, it has
never worked for a long time (not in Plasma 5, not in Plasma 6, not on a brand
new system install).


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create file "test.sln"
2. Click on it, Kate opens.
2. Open With, select an app such as Rider, click "Remember application
association". Rider opens.
3. Close it. Click the file again, Kate opens instead of Rider!
Going a step further
4. Open Default Applications
5. Create a new mime type: application/Rider, with file *.sln
6. Try again, same result.


OBSERVED RESULT
The selected application is ignored.

EXPECTED RESULT
The selected application should open.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Garuda Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.5
Qt Version: 6.7.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

~/.config/mimeapps.list contains the new custom mime type at the beginning of
the list. If I manually move it to the end of the list, then it works. It kind
of looks like the file has multiple mime types at the same time that override
each other? If I search ".sln" in Default Applications, only my new Rider
profile shows up. It's a fresh new system setup.
