compressed files in konqueror

[thepasswordis123]

when i click on a targz or zip file, my computer launches ark then opens the file in ark rather than in konqueror. it loads compressed files in konqueror when i type the file in the address line eg:
zip:/path/to/file.zip
tar:/path/to/file.tar

the compressed files were opening in konqueror before I upgraded to dapper from hoary

Re: compressed files in konqueror

You can try this:

1. Open up Konqueror and go to /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/mimelnk/application/
2. Either delete everything there or move them somewhere in your /home directory I prefer to copy them elsewhere, just in case I want them back. The FAQ recommended deleting them. Remember you have to actually remove or move those .desktop files. So you have to need root access.
3. Restart Konqueror

If you decided to just remove them, here's the easier way

From http://www.kubuntu.org/faq.php#konqueror

To enable Konqueror to open tar and zip files:

rm -r /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/mimelnk/application/
