Bug 28333

Screenshot of the kdeconnect call

See a screenshot proving firefox calls kdeconnect-handler instead of ark.

In :
plasma-menu → internet → open on a kdeconnect device → [right clic] properties → application → supported files → application/octet-stream

Does it give any interested information ?

M8 Plasma x86_64 from RC1 public CI installation.

I confirm bug with above link.
The https://github.com/pxb1988/dex2jar/releases/download/2.0/dex-tools-2.0.zip link is affected.

Workaround: Save on disk before open it. This always opens Ark.

That is interesting is that "Open on connected device via KDE Connect" is listed on many mime-type.
This should not occur.

Seems an error in mime/type association here.

Edit File Type application/zip

"Open on connected device via KDE Connect"

is available in "Open" properties. This should not occur. This leads to inconsistency and potentially bad bugs like this one.

This application should not be registered to "Open" neither file but available as a Service, in Share menu, or Action menu. Note that there is a Send to device available in Share submenu of Right click one.

Edit File Type image-png

Note the same for png image. This obvious app should not be here.

Upstream bug?

In facts, it is in all file associations in

systemsettings5 => Personalization => Applications => File Associations

Every file types have an Entry "Open on connected device via KDE Connect" in Application Preference Order.
So, basically, all files can be "opened" with this Application to be send to a phone that has been registered with the current running Plasma system.

That's too much.

/usr/bin/kdeconnect-handler is owned by kdeconnect-kde

Assigning to KDE maintainers.

Source RPM: (none) => kdeconnect-kde-20.12.0-1.mga8.src.rpm
Status comment: (none) => Don't register /usr/bin/kdeconnect-handler with all file types

@Jybz,

Workaround for this bug: remove "Open on connected device via KDE Connect" in Application Preference Order for application/zip in

systemsettings5 => Personalization => Applications => File Associations

Firefox no longer switches silently to this app and still opens a file in Ark.

Better: always download and save to a directory before really Open a file/application/whatever.

Also something is strange with the zip file
$ zipinfo 2.0.zip |head -n 5

Note the unknown file type for both directories, and suid/sgid bits set.

What impact that could have, I haven't looked into.

Side effect?
This bug was reported with something else than firefox:

https://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum/topic-29724+libreoffice.php

Dirty workarround:
> su -c 'mv /usr/share/applications/org.kde.kdeconnect_open.desktop /usr/share/applications/org.kde.kdeconnect_open.desktop.bak'

done on cauldron.
