Ok, let me explain why that happens to you (most likely). Firefox is using gnome-vfs so gnome-vfs prefers Gnome and Gtk apps by default (which makes kind of sense). And you (see below) have most likely no other Gnome/Gtk application installed which supports image/png. So yes, the behaviour is not optimal especially for KDE users. I'm wondering if it's possible to have some kind of "KDE mode" (if Gnome is not installed at all) of the gnome_defaults.conf/glib2/defaults.list mechanism which doesn't prefer Gnome and Gtk apps?
Yes, the same problem was reported in bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456026 Here is my plan: - Drop SuSEconfig.glib2 as it exists just now (ugly bash script) - Write and upstream a new tool with configurable set of preferences. - Playing with XDG_* variables, force different defaults in gvfs and gnome-vfs applications in GNOME and KDE. - And finally, using one-time virtual symbol trigger feature in future versions of rpm call this script every time any desktop file is installed. As a backup solution (ugly, but less effort) would be modifying of existing SuSEconfig script and run it twice. As a temporary work-around, you can install and run nautilus, click to Properties of a particular file and configure application which you want. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
