Description
Currently when I click twice on the file Qt Creator is launched for viewing the file. It would be good to configure double click as view action and configure view action to use <user favourite program>.
In my case, I usually just take a peek in the source, so I would prefer something faster (like kate, or even mcedit could be fine). I cannot change the associations to .cpp file because it would affect whole kDE.
( If this BTS does not notify reporters, please send me an email with questions -- in case of any.)

But this means a lot of work -- for comparison if I could configure default viewer working would be more fluent, because I would only double click, or use keyboard.
Current approach is more tiresome because for every file I have to use context menu and select an _alternate_ viewer. It means default viewer will be never used by me -- I don't see a point here or benefits.
Please consider above and reopen.

kdesvn will NOT maintain its own extension association database. In that case I could remove all KDE stuff and build a simple qt-application which is not integrated into and using global stuff from KDE.
When you want to use your own viewer - set it in kde. Every KDE-filemanager is using the kde assiciations database (konqueror, dolphin, krusader). Kdesvn is a high specialized filemanager and will - with some restrictions - act as one.
May - if I have time - I integrate an option switching off usage of kde extension and using ONE viewer for ALL items (not depending on type). But this looks that way useless to me it gets no priority.
bye

Kdesvn is designed work most like the kde filemanagers on double click. So you may use the context menu of an item selecting another assigned (or not assigned) viewer.
