Open With doesn't remember application

1. Right click a .jpg file
2. Choose Open With...
3. Pick an executable
4. Tick the <<Remember application association for all file of type "JPEG
Image" (image/jpeg)>> box
5. Click OK
6. Right click the same file and choose Open With.

Note there is no default application anywhere. I can see the executable in the
history drop-down, but there's no default, and I have to go through the
selection step again and again. Open With is far less useful than I hoped.

Work here under a KF5 desktop as expected. The remembered program is the first
in the "Open with" list.

The screenshot is from running the appimage on Ubuntu. Do I need to anything
else for the associations to work?

Reproducible here with AppImage 5.5.0 under Kubuntu 16.04, Plasma 5.8.5.

This option sets only the default program to open (for example Dolphin). No
changes are made in the "Open with" dialog. Only in the digiKam "Open with"
context menu is this program now in the first place.

The Open With dialog after I've added IrfanView as the default application

I'm not sure I understand the point of the "Open With" menu then. Is it to
configure *the system's Open With*? That seems just out of scope, when there
are OS or file manager -level ways of setting default applications (e.g. in
Ubuntu, right click on a file in Files, go to Properties, choose Open With).

> Only in the digiKam "Open with" context menu is this program now in the first place.

When I open the Open With dialog, I see no program in any place (please refer
to the first screenshot). Only if I click the drop-down, do I see a recent
program, but that's cumbersome and it doesn't make opening files with an
alternate application much faster.

The Ubuntu Open With

This attachment is of the Open With mechanism in Ubuntu's Files, which I find
actually effective. Ideally I'd like a shortcut to open with the the default
application, e.g. Shift+F4, since F4 is the default app (Image Editor).

Open With permit to select application register in Desktop to open file.

Some desktop as KDE permit to customize it, other no.

The other way to open file with default application permit to choose an
application, also registered in Desktop, to open quickly the file with
preferred one.

These features are only supported under Linux. MacOS and Windows still to do.

Perhaps in the future (i hope), QDesktopService integration framework will
provide an universal API for this feature. For the moment, it's relevant of KDE
API, which only work of course under Linux.
