How do you clear the right click Open With/Other drop down history?

Thats not history, thats a list of all you applications. -
The dropdown, which has the history of apps used or typed in manually. I thought I knew where this was hidden, but sadly I am mistaken at the moment.Comment

It is in System Settings>File Associations. Find the extension in question and the right pane will show the default files which can be edited.Linux because it works. No social or political motives in my decision to use it.

Yes, you are correct, it was impossible (or it could be done, didn't have time to figure out how) to do a screenshot with the list in the down position showing the history.Originally posted by claydoh View PostComment

Open-with settings
File Manager (Dolphin) > Right click > Open with > Other > Open with history pull down
~/.kde/share/config/dolphinrc -> Open-With settings
The KDE rc files are text files. Can be edited, when the application (Dolphin) is not running.

@Rog132...BINGO! Thank you, as for the screenshots (I have no clue how you did it), showoff, lol.
I am assuming I can set 'Completion Mode' to '1', the history will be overwritten every time I use a different program? The 'History' line I get, just clear it.
Oh, I see, because you can't have Dolphin open when editing, you have to basically 'kdesudo kate' and 'drill' to the file with Kate, then edit, cool.Comment

@Rog132..Pah ha, neat, very similar to what I did with shred, gave it an icon and everything.
I can't believe I finally understand this, I mean each bit of it and why it's laid out the way it is...Code:shred -f -n35 -u -v -x -z
Code:kwriteconfig -file dolphinrc -group 'Open-with settings' -key History -type string ''
