[Bug 89140] Re: File association settings are not found under System Settings

[GreatBunzinni]

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 50320 ***

The first distribution I installed was Mandrake 9.2, which was way back
in the past. I don't know if it has changed but back then Mandrake
sported KDE as it's main DE and back then the file association was done
by KDE through KDE's control center.

That method (tweaking the file associations from the DE's control center
application) is, at least to me, the obvious path to take. That approach
is modular and ls clear to any user. Moreover, it has been the KDE way
of doing things and it is also the windows way of doing things.

On the other hand, offering that option exclusively in some obscure menu
of an application that doubles as web browser and file manager... That
doesn't look right nor does it look intuitive. Moreover, it doesn't even
make sense since the good KDE people are working on a new file manager
which is separate from Konqueror. What will happen then? Will the
Kubuntu people offer that feature through konqueror even for those users
who will not use it? Will that feature be offered from both Konqueror
and the new file manager?
