But I think this is one of the things that we can blame to a still not mature implementation.
It sucks that downloader progressed slowly because now it's hard to see what's implementation fault and what's a real problem in the design ...

I think we should show a confirmation dialog when the mime type isnt handlable. That would make the timer thing unnecessary too probably, because you would ever have something showed (dialog or app) and so the feedback could be ok.
