Personally, I think that would be a very, very useful feature. I guess you could argue about where it would stop, but I think even showing the default app that can handle that filetype at the and of the launcher application icons (i.e. where it would open), would be pretty awesome. -- Neil Jagdish Patel | Technical Lead Desktop Experience Team Canonical 27 Floor, Millbank Tower London SW1P 4QP Ubuntu - Linux for Human Beings www.canonical.com _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
