    Kate tries to open folders

    I was in my home folder and wanted to create a new Kate file; unthinkingly I right clicked a bare space within the home folder and chose "open with"...kate. What made matters worse is that I checked the box that says"always use this program"

    Now, whenever I try to open any folder Kate tries to open it! Of course, Kate can't open a folder, so an error message is displayed- "the file 'file:///home/myfolder' could not be opened; it is not a normal file it is a folder".

    Well, that's a fine mess I've gotten myself into. Being as I don't know how to un-screw this screw-ip, I throw myself down before you, and beg that someone with a merciful heart will lend me a hand.

    try this:

    1. Open Konqueror, and go to Settings-> Configure Konqueror
    2. Choose File Associations -> Inode -> Directory

    See what you got there, you should have "konqueror"

    Hope this helps !

        woohoo!

        I went to Settings-> Configure Konqueror->
        Associations -> Inode -> Directory and there was:

        Kate
        Konqueror

        Just deleted Kate, and now eveything works as smooth as warm butter!

        Thanks so much!
