           Summary: Virtualbox .vdi files are treated as plain-text files
                    making it easy to accidentally overload system by
                    opening with kate
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: keith.hughitt at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Virtualbox hard-drive images (.vdi files) are often many Gigabytes. Because
they are considered to be "plain-text" files by KDE/Dolphin, they are
associated with Kate by default. Accidentally clicking such a file in Dolphin
caused Kate to attempt to load the file resulting in a completely unresponsive
system.

A better solution would be to either associate the files with Virtualbox, or to
not give them any initial association.
