[SOLVED] KDE incorrectly treats *.jar files as zip
« on: September 04, 2012, 12:05:00 AM »
Can someone verify KDE incorrectly treats *.jar files as zip.  When right clicking .jar files in Dolphin I am not offered the option to open file with Java Run Time environment.  Only able to run .jar files with Java in the CLI.

Oh, thanks so much! :)  I tried to search but apparently failed miserably in locating any old threads on this.  Very simple solution indeed ;D

No problem - glad to help.  I remembered that I had a similar issue, and was able to go back through my history to find the thread - just had to go back a ways.  Glad you got it sorted out.
