Where EFM store the user preference, is it possible to others to access this data? I think we need a centralised way to keep this information, or the user need to choose a preferred application for every apps/module that need to open a filemanager or a browser. I know this is not a standard yet. But this doesn't mean we can't have our method to storing this user preference. I have also done a module that add a configuration dialog to set your preferred apps. Its very simple, but it make no sense if there are not a shared place to store the informations. Don't you think this is a must have module?? So IMHO we need to define witch is the E way to store the mime/application associations, and have the code in some lib (maybe not efreet for now). In this way we can have all the apps/module work the same way and we can also change the lib to fit a final freedesktop standard without touching modules. If we don't do this now all the apps/modules will do the associations in a different way and when the fdo standard will become a reality we need to redo everything.
