Did you get any apps in the 'Open With' menu list? Mine is empty. To |
| 18 |
get any application to open a file I have to type it manually (or |
| 19 |
choose one from the cached drop down entries in the Open With panel). |
| 20 |
I ran kate %U, but nothing much happened. :( |

Will try to repeat all this in a KDE session just in case. |

Meanwhile, what does your /home/<user>/.config/menus/applications.menu |
| 25 |
look like. Mine is empty and comes up with the error shown below: |
