ALWAYS open .avi with m player!". for example. maybe for some you want to also limit list length (length of 1 is the current simple 1 .desktop per mime type case and as there are no other entries - it cant be re-ordered and fall back to previously used mime type handlers). so as such - this api needs some work imho. the "standard not yet a standard" imho is too simplistic and already will have usability problems (eg in the uninstall case). admittedly in that case you could just pop up the "well app doesnt exit - ask what app you want to use now" again, but it's not as nice as maintaining a list of preferences. > > > > Best regards, > > Teodor Petrov > > > > > > p.s.
