When talking about usability, the context menu "Open With" could contain one additional item: "Change default application". It will be well visible for beginners and accessible advanced users (in Nautilus it is now Properties->Open With) and not forcing advanced users to disable it. And when one day Desktop actions will become reality, it could also contain "Change Default Action" -> "View" "Edit" "Convert" -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
