When you right click on a file, the menu that pops up should check the MIME
index before loading options.  If there is no editor for a file type, the
option should not be displayed.  What if I have a quick, slim editor, a
complex, powerful editor, and two programs that can otherwise open it?  How
about this:
---
Open >Open with: Firefox
Open Office
Edit> The GIMP
Quick edit> (Some kinda mspaint equivalent)
---
That'd be the menu.  All you'd see is:
---
Open >
Edit
Quick edit
---
But if you hovered over an option, it would show the programs designated for
that function. These should be custom then.
What if there's a program called, uh...  "Shnark" that I use every day on
.png's.  I should be able to set things such that I see:
---
Open
Edit
Shnark
---
What do you think?
