Thanks, Donnie Yeah, the module I posted could be adapted to do that with not too much effort. The problem is, though, that it works on the level of whole plugins, rather than MIME types: if you have, say, one plugin that handles OGG and MP3, and one that handles WMA and MP3, there's no reliable way that I know of to choose how to handle MP3, without losing either OGG or MP3. That might be acceptable: have a multimedia category of plugins, and let the user choose the one that handles the types that he/she needs, but I'm starting to think that this really belongs in the browsers themselves. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

Shouldn't something like this be a Firefox/Seamonkey extension instead ? Something like Plugin Manager: http://www.gozer.org/mozilla/extensions/ Yeah, that would be even better, but it doesn't seem to support SeaMonkey (and a quick Google didn't find one that did), let alone Konqueror, Opera, etc. I mainly thought the module would be a sensible idea because there's already one for the Java plugin, but I suppose it could get messy if people start doing it for other types of plugin. It's up to you guys, I guess. :-) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
