first: the system settings are becoming less and less over time, in the past there was a option to review and change all file associations from a central point
second: it makes me tired that in Konqueror i can change the file associations from the info dialog of a file but changes are not saved correctly, for .ta.xz i have 3 "open with" entries
* xarchiver (no longer installed) * kde4-ark (not working - ark -caption "%c" %U) * org.kde.ark (ark %U)
the kde4-ark likely was broken because of "-caption" no longer supported, this could i even fix by change the program property, but when i remove anything but the second "ark" entry that is only displayed but not saved
frankly over the years i got tired of that damned renames of .desktop files and that change file associations seems to be a persistent problem here and there depending on nobody knows what

ahh - after seek and delete the "kde4-ark" in the userhome AND LOGOUT afther the next login Konqueror realized the changes and forgot automatically about the uninstalled "xarchiver" as well as the no longer existing second ark desktop file
are you kidding me? when i change that from a dialog in Konqueror i expect in doubt any random app but not Konqeueror itself not realize changes

Systemsettings -> Applications -> File Associations.
Do you have other signs of less system setting options?

ah there it is hidden now

well, systemsettings had in the past surely more than 20 options
however, that i need to log out and login again to even have a chance if changes are effective than that's a joke, especially when that change is made out of the application (Konqueror in that case) itself

It has been there for a long time, and it's available from the search.

Some of them may be grouped differently. Please name which ones are missing.

And in fact you generally don't. Did you try to wait a bit/and or kbuildsycoca(4)? This is probably done more frequently/easily with the Frameworks based version of Konqueror in Frameworks environment.
Ciao

if i need a search the UI is not optimal

i don't have screenshots of each and every version, i only can tell you that in the past i did not have too seek that entry, but since we are now in the next background-change renaming all .desktop files upstream once again we likely need it more often.....
(except you are just a out-of-the-box user or throw away your userhome regulary)

sorry, but when i right click on a file, the "Open with" list ist not as it should be, chose file properties and adapt it i expect that not to get visible at a random point of time
ESPECIALLY when there is even a progress winows talking about refreshing system configuration or however it is called in english
BTW: good to hear that we will still be alive when Knoqueror is no longer a KDE4 application because it's current shape go worser and worser (no ark context menus, translations recently become a bad joke...)
