This is why my opinion is that the correct and simplest way to deal with that mess is not introducing more complicated configuration bureaucracy, instead just respecting (e.g. memorizing) your preference for each file type/format you showed by using OpenWith.But I don't want to be prompted seperately for every text type. I just want to set the default for text/* once. I don't disagree with prompting the user and storing the result, but that is orthogonal to being able to make a default application for a wildcard. The prompt could even have an option to make the app the default for all text, all images, etc.And of course if there is a more specific rule (for example, a rule for
text/css) that would have higher precedence than a wildcard rule _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list xdg@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
