firefox, file associations, kde

How to make firefox use kde file associations?  I'm talking about firefox download manager: <Open>, and <Open containing folder>.

I have libgnome and xfce4 installed. I can change mime associations with thunar. Thunar is used when i choose <Open containing folder> from firefox download manager. But *i want use <dolphin>, and all its associations*.

I tried http://rubylution.ping.de/articles/2007 … nder-linux to make <dolphin> default file manager with no luck. I searched forum, google.

Is it possible? How?

Thanks.

Re: firefox, file associations, kde

Well, it would  be enough for me, if i could make <dolphin> my default file manager. But in Edit->Preferences->Applications i can't see, how associate it. There is no system.file.mime (or whatever ), and i don't know how to add it.

But problem is, that firefox uses gnome mime types by default, and further xfce4 (or xfce4 just uses gnome, don't know exactly), but no kde.

I found  on ubuntu forum link to http://luisfpg.blogspot.com/2009/04/mak … -kdes.html, where *all file associations are asignet to xdg-open*.
Unfortunately this solution didn't work. <xdg-open> from within firefox, uses xfce4 associations, but <xdg-open> launched from my shell, uses kde associations.

Try this:

cp /opt/kde4/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
