Question: How can I add more options to the KDE Plasma desktop "Default Applications" like image viewer, text editor, music, video, etc.? This is lacking compared to other DE's I've used.
#[Solved] KDE how do I add more options to default applications?

You can do that with "File Associations"
For example you can set .mp4 files to open up in a certain program

That is crazy that KDE wants you to manually associate a file type with an application. I thought they would have more default options or maybe an extension addon that gives more options.

Why? This way you can customize it even more
You can set mp4 and mkv files to open in different apps
That's one example

Yeah I guess so but doesn't seem very KISS. New users may not know about file associations and may just want a simple default application chooser for file types.

Fair enough, though it doesn't seem that complicated even for a new user.

it will prompt you when you try to open a file of that type, also it's automatically set for most stuff

Fair enough, I'll mark as resolved.
