Correct me If I'm wrong, but that's a completely different issue: nautilus-sendto. If we had a standard for preferred apps, nautilus-sendto could also follow it. BTW: IMO we also need a "sendto"-spec similar to what Thunar already does. Then nautilus-sendto would be obsolete anyway. > Also editing defaults.list doesn't allow for instant notification of the > change for UIs, GConf allows that, makes it a pain to implement Agreed.
