I have these monster files that look like text enough to fool kwrite into trying to open them if the user accidentally clicks them.
Users running dolphin occasionally click to focus, and accidentally launch kwrite which tries to open the file, and since they are very large, they consume all available memory, and pretty much kill opensuse 11.4.
It becomes so unresponsive you have a hard time killing the task, and even if you do, X becomes non-responsive.
What can settings can I make so that these files don't look like text?
(They are BRU backup archives, and the extension is the only thing that distinguishes them. Internally, they look like text deep enough to fool the magic file type determination).
I was going to suggest " Add a new file association for the .bru extension that does not have any file associated " but I tested it and it doesn't work - dolphin still identifies as text, kwrite still opens. I'll ask upstream about it tomorrow. As a workaround, is it possible to put the files somewhere users don't click?
