   Package: krusader   
   Version: 2:2.9.0-2   
   Severity: important   
      
   Dear Maintainer,   
      
   Krusader cannot remember file associations and shows an empty dialog box when   
   trying to open files, it seems that the reason is that the following file   
   does not exist: /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu   
      
      
   Steps to reproduce:   
      
   1. Install krusader on Debian Sid without a full KDE Plasma environment   
   2. Launch Krusader   
   3. Try to open a PDF file (for instance) by pressing Enter   
   4. The "Open with" dialog appears empty with no applications listed   
   5. Enter /usr/bin/evince in the dialog box, or navigate to this file   
   6. Enable the option to remember the filetype association   
   7. Krusader launches evince correctly   
   8. But next time one tries step number 3 (open a PDF), same behaviour happens   
   9. Krusader creates phantom .desktop files (evince-2.desktop, evince-3.desktop,   
      etc.)   
   6. File associations are never saved   
      
      
   Expected behavior:   
      
   The dialog should show available applications and remember the user's choice.   
      
      
   Solution:   
      
   Creating this symlink fixes the issue:   
     sudo ln -s /etc/xdg/menus/plasma-applications.menu /etc/xdg/me   
   us/applications.menu   
      
      
   After creating the symlink and running "kbuildsycoca6 --noincremental",   
   Krusader works correctly.   
      
      
   Suggested fix:   
      
   The krusader package should either:   
      
   - Create this symlink in postinst script   
   - Or add a dependency/recommendation that ensures it exists   
   - Or patch Krusader to look for plasma-applications.menu as a fallback   
      
      
   Thanks in advance for the maintenance job!   
   Best regards,   
   Pierre
