Summary0001160: Freecad sometimes 'forgets' the ability to handle stp files
DescriptionWhen I start Freecad (current daily build from ppa on Ubuntu 12.04) I sometimes cannot open stp files. They are not listed in Open file dialog and if I try to open some through all files nothing happens.

It can be repaired by opening the Schenkel's step file from Start page. After that any stp file can be opened through Open file dialog again.
TagsNo tags attached.

Where are these STEP files located? Somewhere on a network share, a mountable device or on your harddisk?

What is your default startup workbench? Maybe it helps to post your user.cfg file (it's under $HOME/.FreeCAD).

These step files can be located anywhere, I have faced this issue with files on my HDD. When I open 'Open file' dialog, they are not even listed among known filetypes. Check attached screencap with error after clicking on stp file that I have among recent files. Surprisingly it can be opened again after opening Schenkel's step file example.
My user.cfg is also attached, but I have tried to delete all user settings when I met this issue first time and it had not any influence.
